I am especially happy for The Prince's DREAMGIRlS earning 9 nominations and Frank Wildhorn's Waiting For The Moon presented at Lenape securing 8 nominations, as well as the special award nomination for the talented Ben Dibble.

Awesome, congrats to everyone involved with Waiting for the Moon. Hopefully this will give the show even more momentum and get it to broadway.

Go! Jarrod and Lauren and everyone else connected with the marvelous Lenape production of "Waiting for the Moon" - it was truly a wonderful run of a beautiful show...and all these nominations are well deserved!!! Hopefully, it will be done elsewhere before next summer's scheduled Carolina engagement.

Two productions that opened during the year are scheduled to transfer to New York -- Terrence McNally's Some Men and Christopher Durang & Peter Melnick's Adrift in Macao. Neither one exactly tore up the nominations, although Macao (6 noms) did much better than Some Men (only 1 nom, which was a well-deserved one for John Glover).

Some Men was a mess and needs lots of work if it's to open in New York. I'm surprised there weren't more acting awards for Macao--the cast was decent. It also needs a lot of work before New York, IMO
