The Tony winners will be announced this Sunday, and one of the big prizes is Best New Musical. There are two front runners, “In the Heights” and “Passing Strange.” They don’t sound like your grandparents’ musicals, either, because they’re shows that mix genres such as hip-hop and rock. John and Adaora talk to Jack Grace about the race and why the creator of one of the productions says he shouldn’t win.
