According to Michael J. Moritz Jr. on Periscope, Astaire Awards went to On the Town for both Choreography and Male dancer, beating An American in Paris for both. Hmm Hmm.

I read on Twitter and ATC that it was a tie in both categories.
Leanne Cope won in her category.

Ah forgive me. As a producer for On the Town, it makes sense that Moritz would focus only on his show's wins. However, the ties also make more sense than Ballet: the Musical losing both male dancer and choreographer. But will this impact the Tonys? I'm sure the Astaire awards are far less political than the Tonys so I guess now we wait.

I was so happy that these two shows tied for best choreography--and that Robbie Fairchild and Tony Yazbeck tied for best male dancer.
I only wish these ties could be replicated by the Tony awards. I know that not likely, but it's something devoutly to be wished.

Saw both and both have splendid choreography. It is like saying who was a better dancer - Astaire Or Kelly. Do not ask me to choose
