Neil Patrick Harris gets first Tony nod!

Neil Patrick Harris has received his first Tony Award nomination! It is in the category of lead actor in a musical for Hedwig and the Angry Inch which just officially opened last week.

NHP has won three Emmys for producing the Tony telecasts that he hosted but how cool would it be for him to actually win a Tony?

His competition: Ramin Karimloo, Les Miserables; Andy Karl, Rocky; Jefferson Mays, A Gentleman’s Guide to Love & Murder; and Bryce Pinkham, A Gentleman’s Guide to Love & Murder.

Congratulations to Neil!

** Hedwig also was nominated for Best Revival of a Musical.
