After months of well-publicized production woes -- including executive power struggles, a record-$70 million spent, a record-183 previews, six delays and at least four injured performers -- the Broadway musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark sold out New York's 1,928-seat Foxwoods Theater.

As expected, The Book of Mormon -- the brainchild of South Park’s Matt Stone and Trey Parker -- was the big winner at Sunday's 65th Annual Tony Awards from New York City, capturing nine awards on the evening, including best musical.

Among the honors the religious-themed comedy received: best direction, score, book, featured actress Nikki M. James, orchestration, sound design, lighting design and scenic design of a musical.

Among the nods it received were best musical, score, direction, choreography, book, and costumes. Actors Josh Gad and Andrew Rannelis were also nominated for individual honors.

Parker and Stone's religious comedy falls just one nod short of the record for the most nominations, set by Mel Brooks' The Producers, which garnered 15 nominations in 2001.
