Here Lies Love and Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812 Break Lucille Lortel Award Records

The Off-Broadway League has announced the nominees for the 29th Annual Lucille Lortel Awards, honoring the achievement of this season's off-Broadway productions. The Public Theater's Here Lies Love and Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812 each received a record-breaking 11 nominations, surpassing the record of eight previously held by Urinetown and Abigail's Party.

The list of nominees joins the previously announced special award recipient, Broadway producer Robyn Goodman, who will be honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award. Richard Nelson has also been named the next inductee onto the Playwrights' Sidewalk in front of the Lucille Lortel Theatre. Nelson has had a long career both on and off Broadway and won a Lortel Award in 2000 for Outstanding Musical for James Joyce's The Dead.

The awards ceremony will be held on Sunday, May 4, at NYU Skirball Center, hosted by husband-and-wife actors Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman, who are currently starring in the New Group's off-Broadway production of Sharr White's Annapurna.
