BroadwayWorld Central New York Award Nominations

The 2025 Regional Awards honor productions which had their first performance between October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2025. Our editors have set the categories and now YOU get to nominate and vote for your favorites! Nominations are reader-submitted and will be open through Oct. 31. After the nomination period ends, BroadwayWorld’s editors will proof the list for eligibility and errors, then voting will begin in early November and run through December 31. Winners will be announced in January!

We’d be so honored if you took some time to vote for Capital Repertory Theatre. Please note that we must be included in the professional category ONLY.
