Back in 2023 one of our principal accompanist was nominated for a regional Broadway World Award by her Denver area music theatre colleagues . The category was for "Best Music Direction & Orchestra Performance" for her participation in "Eigg the Musical" at Vintage Theatre in July. Every year Broadway World provides Colorado with an online portal to get the people's vote for the year's best theatrical productions around the state. Broadway World is an international organization that’s broken down in different regions across America, Canada, Central and South America, Europe and Asia. This year is the 20th anniversary of the event and it's great nice to see our PAP partners represented in the nominations too.
This is a peoples' choice award and it's really the only theatre award like it in the Denver area, so it’s a big deal for the smaller venues. Additionally, the people voting are vetted and validate that the work we’re doing is high caliber and at an elite level. It acknowledges the hard work that the leadership team have put into developing the show and the performances of the actors. Accompanist are sometimes overlooked for these types of awards and I guess in some ways we are just the support team for a actors, but it's rewarding when the show you are working on wins "Best New Musical."
