NEW YORK -- Tom Kitt and Cameron Crowe are Tony Award-nominated for Best Original Score for Broadway's "Almost Famous." 

The musical was based on Crowe's Oscar-winning movie from 2000. The story is a somewhat personal portrait of Crowe's real life as a teenage music journalist who hits the road with a rock band. 

Both nominees talked to CBS2 about their Tony nominations and what it meant to adapt the movie to a musical.

Watch the Tony Awards on CBS2 at 7 p.m. on June 11.
