The 32nd annual Kleban Prize for Musical Theatre awards ceremony, recognizing previously announced winners César Alvarez and Isabella Dawis, streams from Broadway on Demand beginning February 21 at 7 PM ET. The free event will feature musical performances from Alvarez and Dawis, as well as special appearances by Tony winners Bernadette Peters, Richard Maltby, Jr. and Maury Yeston.
The award, created under the estate of Tony-winning A Chorus Line lyricist Edward L. Kleban, carries with it a $100,000 cash prize, payable over two years, to support emerging artists. Alvarez is this year's recipient for most promising musical theatre lyricist and Dawis for most promising musical theatre librettist.
The ceremony will be available through February 28 on Broadway on Demand, then available at NewDramatists.org from March 1.
