NEW YORK, NY May 13, 2008 —NEW YORK (AP) - ``In the Heights,'' a lively snapshot of Latino life in Upper Manhattan, received 13 Tony Award nominations Tuesday, more than any other show. A lush, lavish revival of Rodgers and Hammerstein's ``South Pacific'' took 11 nominations, followed by ``Sunday in the Park With George'' with nine. Three shows received seven nominations: ``August: Osage County,'' ``Passing Strange'' and the revival of ``Gypsy.'' ``Heights'' was nominated for best musical along with ``Passing Strange,'' the story of one man's journey through sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll; ``Cry-Baby,'' a raunchy '50s teenage romance based on the John Waters film; and ``Xanadu,'' a spoof of the '80s disco movie musical. ``August: Osage County,'' already the winner of the Pulitzer Prize for drama, was nominated for best play along with Conor McPherson's ``The Seafarer,'' Tom Stoppard's ``Rock 'n' Roll'' and ``The 39 Steps'' by Patrick Barlow.
