AUDIENCE CHOICE AWARDS
Hot on the heels of the Tony Awards (click here to see those), nominations in 22 competitive categories for the Broadway.com Audience Choice Awards have been announced. The nominees were selected by fans who voted for all eligible candidates in a comprehensive Broadway.com survey. Nominated candidates will have the opportunity to be voted for online by fans celebrating the “People’s Choice Awards” for Broadway.
This year, Dear Evan Hansen and Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812 top the list of the most nominated musicals while Significant Other and The Glass Menagerie were among the most nominated plays. Broadway newcomers Cobie Smulders and Denée Benton received nominations in addition to Broadway vets including Patti LuPone, Christian Borle, Kristin Chenoweth, and Nathan Lane. For the ninth year in a row, Wicked has been nominated as “Favorite Long Running Show,” defending the eight-year title it currently holds.
In its 17th year, the Broadway.com Audience Choice Awards celebrates the fan favorites of the season by giving the vote to the people. The voting period begins Monday, May 8th at 5pm and will conclude on Wednesday, May 17th at 11:59pm. Voting is open to everyone and can be completed by visiting Broadway.com/awards. Winners in each category will be announced on May 19th.
