Reactions to the 2009 Tony Award nominations, announced Tuesday in New York:
It's rare but other actors beside the boys in "Billy Elliot" have shared Tony Award nominations, although not for playing the same role.
"Billy Elliot," the tale of a British coal miner's son who dreams of becoming a dancer, has the potential of winning a record number of 2009 Tony Awards, honoring the best of a star-driven Broadway season.
Beatrice Arthur, the tall, deep-voiced actress who considered herself lucky to be discovered by television executives after a long stage career that included a Tony award for the musical "Mame," died Saturday at age 86.
Actor Ron Silver, who won a Tony Award as a take-no-prisoners Hollywood producer in David Mamet's "Speed-the-Plow" and did a political about-face from loyal Democrat to Republican activist after the Sept. 11 attacks, died Sunday at the age of 62.
Irish playwright and commentator Hugh Leonard, who won a Tony Award in 1978 for his bittersweet father-and-son drama "Da," died Thursday. He was 82 and had been hospitalized for more than a year battling various illnesses.
Actress and singer Edie Adams, the blonde beauty who won a Tony Award for bringing Daisy Mae to life on Broadway and who played the television foil to her husband, comedian Ernie Kovacs, has died. She was 81.

Chicago Shakespeare Theater has its roots in a 1986 production of "Henry V" performed on a pub's rooftop deck. On Tuesday, the company was named the recipient of the 2008 Tony Award for outstanding regional theater.
"In the Heights," the little barrio musical that brought a fresh salsa and hip-hop beat to Broadway, dominated the 2008 Tony Award nominations Tuesday, picking up 13, more than any other show.
It's been an odd year for musicals on Broadway. Big, ballyhooed shows fizzled with the critics, little ones earned cheers but not sold-out houses, and the toughest ticket turned out to be a nearly 60-year-old musical that has audiences swooning over lush, lyrical, good old-fashioned romance. What this means for the 2008 Tony Award nominations — to be announced Tuesday — suggests that the largest collector of nominations could be "South Pacific," Lincoln Center Theater's lavish revival of the Rodgers and Hammerstein classic, first seen on Broadway in 1949.
Tony Award-winning actress who died after suffering a head injury on a ski slope"She was a wonderful woman and actress and treated me like I was her own," said Lindsay Lohan, who as a preteen starred with Richardson in a remake of "The Parent Trap" in 1998.
