'Hadestown,' singer-songwriter Anais Mitchell's Broadway debut, earned a leading 14 Tony Award nominations Tuesday, followed by the jukebox musical 'Ain't Too Proud,' built around songs by the Temptations, which received a dozen nominations.

Theater veterans were surprised to see Aaron Sorkin's adaptation of "To Kill a Mockingbird," a play about Hillary Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign and the stage adaptation of the media satire film "Network" not getting best play nods, though they did earn recognition in other categories. A sweet "Kiss Me, Kate" and a dark "Oklahoma!" make up the best musical revival category; they are the only eligible nominees. The best play revival nominees are "Arthur Miller's All My Sons," "The Boys in the Band," "Burn This," "Torch Song" and "The Waverly Gallery."
The category of best actress in a play includes Annette Bening in "Arthur Miller's All My Sons," Laura Donnelly in "The Ferryman," Elaine May in "The Waverly Gallery," Janet McTeer in "Bernhardt/Hamlet," Metcalf in "Hillary and Clinton" and Heidi Schreck from "What the Constitution Means to Me."
