BroadwayWorld Chicago is proud to announce the winners of the third annual BroadwayWorld Chicago Awards, the only comprehensive theater award in the Chicago area voted on by fans, and the only one to honor productions in both Equity and non-Equity categories simultaneously. Prominent local companies, famous names on a national level, and some new favorites on our theater scene are winners this year.

BroadwayWorld Chicago invited all winners, nominees, past winners and nominees, theater folk, superfans, board members and everyone else to the third annual BroadwayWorld Awards Celebration on January 9, 2013 at The Call nightclub in Chicago's Andersonville neighborhood. BroadwayWorld's Paul W. Thompson and The Call's Ashley Morgan once again co-hosted the event, with showtune videos presented by VJ Michael Hogan in between categories.

Thanks to everyone who came to join the fun and celebrate another great year of theater in Chicagoland. To see a full list of 2012's BroadwayWorld Chicago Award winners, click here.
