Nominees have been announced for the 13th Annual Off Broadway Alliance Awards, presented by the Off Broadway Alliance—an organization of Off-Broadway producers, theatres, general managers, press agents, and marketing professionals.
Vying for Best New Musical are Buena Vista Social Club, Dead Outlaw, Lizard Boy, The Connector, The Gardens of Anuncia, while Best New Play contenders include Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors; Infinite Life; Job; Oh, Mary!; and Stereophonic.
In addition to the six competitive categories—Best New Musical, Best New Play, Best Revival, Best Unique Theatrical Experience, Best Solo Performance, and Best Family Show—the Alliance also presents several other honors.
Legend of Off-Broadway Awards will be presented to actors Marylouise Burke and Len Cariou, as well as Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Suzan-Lori Parks for their "extraordinary contributions over many years." The Friend of Off-Broadway Award will be presented to Time Out New York chief theatre critic Adam Feldman.
Playwright/performer Christopher Durang, writer Michael Feingold, and producer Edgar Lansbury will be posthumously inducted into the Off Broadway Hall of Fame.
