What musical received the most Tony nominations without a Best Musical Nomination?
Just Curious.
For those who thought NEXT TO NORMAL wouldn't have a life outside Broadway, well it's now playing in 4 cities, 9 different countries and has been translated into 6 languages.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

After a quick cross-referencing of IBDB and TonyAwards.com it appears that Legally Blonde (as mentioned above) and Goodtime Charley in 1975 both had 7 Tony nominations without a nod for Best Musical.
A few others of note:
The original production of Camelot was nominated for 5 Tonys - but not Best Musical.
The Roar of the Greasepaint... - 6 nominations
Goldilocks - 5 nominations
The Act - 6 nominations
