Scottsboro Boys Now Recordholder For Most Tony Nominations Without A Win The final Kander & Ebb musical "seemed to have a shot at redemption for its short-lived, six-week Broadway run when it was nominated for 12 Tony Awards ... Instead, The Scottsboro Boys set a record at Sunday night's ceremonies by becoming the most nominated show to receive no Tony Awards." (The two runners-up are also Kander & Ebb shows.)
