Four Shows Competing for the Tony for Best Musical
Nominees for the most important awards in American theater were announced Tuesday in New York City.
Two musicals lead all the candidates with 12 nominations each. Both came from already popular media products. Mean Girls is a morality story set in a high school, from writer, actor and funny woman Tina Fey.
It was a huge hit in movie theaters in 2004. In the last year, it has had similar success as a musical on Broadway.
Mean Girls' 12 Tony nominations include one for best musical. Fey was also nominated for a writing award as well. Her husband, Jonathan Richmond, wrote the music. He was nominated for best original score, along with lyrics writer Nell Benjamin.
Competing for best musical and 11 other awards is a production developed from the widly popular children's television show, SpongeBob SquarePants. The lead character is an ocean animal called SpongeBob. He lives in a pineapple under the sea and has much to sing about.
Like Fey, SpongeBob writer Kyle Jarrow is nominated for the Tony for best book. It is also up for best original score, created by a number of musical artists.
The grown-up musical The Band's Visit also earned 11 nominations. It is about a clash of cultures that results when an Egyptian orchestra gets lost and ends up in the wrong Israeli town. It is based on a 2007 Israeli film.
The Band's Visit is less well-known than its Tony competitors. However, it has received a lot of critical praise.
You have probably heard of the final best musical candidate. Frozen is based on the Disney animated movie of the same name. The 2013 film is the most popular animated picture ever, based on ticket sales. The Broadway version also got nominated for best original score and best book of a musical.

托尼奖最佳音乐剧奖提名出炉
美国戏剧界最重要奖项的提名名单于周二在纽约公布。
两部音乐剧凭借12项提名领衔所有候选作品。两部音乐剧都是非常受欢迎的媒体产品。其中，《贱女孩》是一部发生在高中的道德剧，而编剧是幽默的作家兼演员——蒂娜·菲（Tina Fey）。
2004年，这部电影上映时取得了巨大成功。去年，音乐剧版的《贱女孩》在百老汇也取得了瞩目的成就。
《贱女孩》获得了包括最佳音乐剧奖在内的12项托尼奖提名。编剧菲也获得了编剧奖提名。其丈夫乔纳森·里奇蒙德（Jonathan Richmond）为这部音乐剧作曲。他和作词家内尔·班杰明获得了最佳原创配乐奖提名。
另一部角逐最佳音乐剧奖和其他11项奖项的作品是《海绵宝宝》——一部人气很高的儿童电视节目。主角是一位名叫海绵宝宝的海洋动物。他居住在海边的一颗菠萝里，他会唱很多歌。
和菲一样，《海绵宝宝》的作者凯尔·杰诺也获得了托尼奖最佳编剧奖提名。这部音乐剧也获得了最佳原创配乐奖的提名，它的配乐由多位音乐家共同创作。
成人音乐剧《乐队造访》获得了11项提名。这部音乐剧讲述的是一个埃及乐团迷路误入以色列一小镇后发生文化冲突的故事。这部音乐剧由2007年以色列一部电影改编而成。
与其他托尼奖竞争者相比，《乐团造访》可能名气稍逊。但是，它的好评不断。
最后一个最佳音乐剧提名作品或许大家已经耳熟能详。《冰雪奇缘》是根据迪士尼同名动画改编。据票房统计，这部2013年的电影成为有史以来最受欢迎的动画片。百老汇版的《冰雪奇缘》也获得了最佳配乐和最佳音乐剧编剧奖提名。
