ADAM SCHLESINGER NOMINATED FOR 4 TONY AWARDS

Fountains of Wayne's Adam Schlesinger Nominated for TONY AWARDS!

The new Broadway musical Cry-Baby: The Musical, with songs co-written by Fountains of Wayne's Adam Schlesinger and "The Daily Show's" executive producer David Javerbaum, was nominated yesterday for four Tony Awards, including Best Musical and Best Score. This is the first time Schlesinger has scored for Broadway. He has received Oscar and Golden Globe nominations for the title song to the Tom Hanks' film, That Thing You Do, and Fountains of Wayne was nominated for two Grammy Awards.

Cry-Baby: The Musical is based on the 1990 John Waters' film of the same name and features a book written by Hairspray writers Tom Meehan and Mark O'Donnell.

Schlesinger is currently at work producing the new Dashboard Confessional record, due out in the fall, and writing songs for the next Fountains of Wayne album.
