Kristoffer Diaz, the playwright who wrote the excellent professional wrestling play The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity and later worked on Netflix's GLOW, was nominated for a Tony Award this morning.

Diaz was nominated for Best Book of a Musical for the new Alicia Keys musical Hell's Kitchen that recently opened on Broadway.

The Tony Awards' official description of the show notes, "In the mid 90’s, in an apartment high above the energy and grit of Manhattan’s Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood, 17-year-old Ali squints toward the horizon until she can just see the Hudson River. Despite the warnings of her protective mother, the symphony of the street calls to her—promising freedom, excitement, and the possibility of love. Inspired by her own New York experience, this new musical was created by and features new original songs and iconic anthems from Alicia Keys."
