The deadline is almost here! Monday, December 20, 2010, is the final date you can cast your vote for the first ever Theatre Fans' Choice Awards from BroadwayWorld Chicago. We're honoring productions which opened between September 1, 2009 and August 31, 2010 with awards in 25 categories, all voted on by you!
As the deadline approaches, we thought it might be interesting to sort the list of nominees by theater or company, rather than by category. This way, if you are looking to support a particular theater or one of its productions, you will know where and how it is in the running. And several categories remain very close in the voting!
If you want to vote and just haven't yet, or if you want to popularize the voting process among friends and supporters of your favorite Chicago theater(s), now's the time! And f you need to vote, or check who's ahead as of right now (prior to December 20, 2010), do so here.
And of course, you should be making your plans to join us on Wednesday night, December 29, 2010, at The Call in Andersonville (1547 W. Bryn Mawr Avenue). It's our Celebration of the 2010 BroadwayWorld Chicago Awards! We'll be there (at one of Edgewater's largest GLBT nightclubs) from 9:00 pm-2:00 am, and we're looking for a real Chicago theater community gathering, under the screens of The Call's weekly Showtune Wednesdays. Do I hear a cast party reunion in the works?
So here's the list of who's in the running, and we hope you are ready to participate!
