Drama Desk produces its 2001 nominations

The nominees for the 2001 Drama Desk Awards have been announced. Not surprisingly, the fabulously reviewed The Producers leads with 14 noms, while The Full Monty is in second place with 12. A cocktail party for the nominees will be held May 3, and the winners will be announced at the awards ceremony, hosted by Lily Tomlin, on May 20 at the F.H. LaGuardia High School Concert Hall at Lincoln Center.
