Here are my guesses for Equity (don't know much about local):

Best Choreography: Chicago or Hairspray. Both have very classy
and original choreography.

Best Costumes: As bad as I feel, I must say Starlight Express. So many tiny details!

Best Director: Topdog Underdog.

Best Director of a Musical: Michael Grief. He and Johnathon basically made Rent what it is. Not to mention dealing with the death of the creator before opening!

Best Ensemble Cast: One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest

Best Lead Female: Lillias White.

Best Lead Male: Clarence Williams III or Cleavant Derricks

Best Lighting: Rent. Lit perfectly to reflect moods.

Best Music Director: Hairspray or Rent. Rent uses their ensemble flawlessly as many different parts. Hairspray's ensemble also uses them in different parts...in the background singing "Doo wop."

Best Playwright: Summertime or Topdog Underdog

Best Producer: Long Beach Playhouse for Hattie

Best Set Design: Rent. Definately the most innovative set of the 90's.

Best Sound: Like Jazz.

Best Supporting Female: Carlease Burke

Best Supporting Male: Terron Brooks

"Broadwayguy, Rent is a lot better than bubblegum pop!"

That is the score, not choreography, costumes, lighting, etc.

Is there an official web site for these awards? I have no idea what they are.

I wish they had nation-wide awards. That would be wondermus and would allow me to easily work in theatre talk in our chapter meetings.

CAGES OR WINGS? WHICH DO YOU PREFER? ASK THE BIRDS. FEAR OR LOVE, BABY? DON'T SAY THE ANSWER, ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS.

I'm not sure of a website. A friend with the Hairspray tour emailed me a copy of the nominee list from a press conference.
