The Drama League announced yesterday that “Cheers” and “Frasier” stars Kelsey Grammer (La Cage aux Folles) and Bebe Neuwirth (The Addams Family)will reunite to announce the nominations for The 76th Annual Drama League Awards.
Grammer and Neuwirth will announce the nominations at an 11 a.m. press conference on Tuesday, April 20, 2010 at Sardi’s Restaurant in midtown Manhattan. Video coverage of the press conference will be streamed live on the Internet at the drama league website, and on broadwayworld.com.
This spring, Kelsey Grammer returns to Broadway as Georges in the revival of La Cage aux Folles, opening April 18 at the Longacre Theatre on West 48th Street. Two blocks south, Bebe Neuwirth stars as Morticia Addams in the new musical The Addams Family, now in previews in advance of an April 8 opening at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre.
As previously announced, The 76th Annual Drama League Awards Ceremony and Luncheon is set for Friday, May 21, 2010 in the Grand Ballroom of the Marriott Marquis Hotel in Times Square (1535 Broadway at 46th St.). The event begins at noon.
Long considered the theatre season’s most festive award ceremony, The Drama League Awards pays tribute to the season’s best performers by including the nominees of The Distinguished Performance Award on a dais. The 76th Annual Drama League Awards dais will feature approximately 60-70 stars from the 2009-10 Broadway and Off-Broadway season.
In addition to The Distinguished Performance Award, The Drama League’s 3,000 members vote on four other annual competitive awards: Distinguished Production of a Play, Distinguished Production of a Musical, Distinguished Revival of a Play and Distinguished Revival of a Musical.
Nominations for these five awards will be announced on Tuesday, April 20 at Sardi’s Restaurant.
