Congratulations are in order for some of our Broadway Black favorites! Denée Benton, Condola Rashad, and Corey Hawkins are among those honored with nominations from the oldest theatrical honor in America.rnrnIn the midst of Awards season, it can be hard to differentiate one award from the other. The Drama League Awards are unique in that they hinge on the Distinguished Performance Award. In a category of over 50 performers, this award goes to one artist a year, and can only be won once in an artist’s lifetime.rnrnNominations for the 83rd Annual Drama League Awards were announced April 19th by Patina Miller and Bebe Neuwirth at New York’s famed Sardi’s. The ceremony will be held May 19 at 11:30 am, and hosted by Audra McDonald and Will Swenson at the Marriott Marquis in New York City. Special honorees include Bill Berlin, Michael Greif, and Bette Midler, who will be honored with the Distinguished Achievement in Musical Theatre Award. Because of this, Middler was considered ineligible for the Distinguished Performance Award category for her work in Hello, Dolly!rnrnA full list of nominees can be found below:rnrnOutstanding Production of a Broadway or Off-Broadway Play-rnrnA Doll’s House, Part 2rnCaughtrnEverybodyrnIf I ForgetrnIndecentrnA LifernOslornThe Play That Goes WrongrnSweatrnTell Hector I Miss HimrnThe WolvesrnrnOutstanding Revival of a Broadway or Off-Broadway Play-rnrnA Doll’s House/The FatherrnThe Beauty Queen of LeenanernJitneyrnThe Little FoxesrnMaster Harold… and the boysrnOthellornPresent LaughterrnThe PricernSix Degrees of SeparationrnTroilus and CressidarnrnOutstanding Production of a Broadway or Off-Broadway Musical-rnrnAmeliernAnastasiarnBandstandrnCome From AwayrnDear Evan HansenrnGroundhog DayrnHadestownrnNatasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812rnRide the CyclonernWar PaintrnrnOutstanding Revival of a Broadway or Off-Broadway Musical-rnrnCatsrnFalsettosrnHello, Dolly!rnMiss SaigonrnSunset BoulevardrnSweeney ToddrnSweet CharityrnrnNominees for The Distinguished Performance Award-rnrnDenée Benton, Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812rnReed Birney, Man From NebraskarnCate Blanchett, The PresentrnAto Blankson-Wood, The Total BentrnChristian Borle, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory; FalsettosrnLeon Addison Brown, Master Harold and the BoysrnKate Burton, Present LaughterrnDaniel Craig, OthellornJohanna Day, SweatrnMarcia DeBonis, Small Mouth SoundsrnDanny DeVito, The PricernJennifer Ehle, OslornCarson Elrod, The LiarrnMichael Emerson, Wakey WakeyrnSally Field, The Glass MenageriernSutton Foster, Sweet CharityrnGideon Glick, Significant OtherrnJosh Groban, Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812rnHarriet Harris, The Roads To HomernCorey Hawkins, Six Degrees of SeparationrnAllison Janney, Six Degrees of SeparationrnRachel Bay Jones, Dear Evan HansenrnSarah Jones, Sell/Buy/DaternAndy Karl, Groundhog DayrnKevin Kline, Present LaughterrnJohn Leguizamo, Latin History for MoronsrnKecia Lewis, Marie and RosettarnJudith Light, All The Ways To Say I Love YournLaura Linney, The Little FoxesrnJefferson Mays, OslornSimon McBurney, The EncounterrnLaurie Metcalf, A Doll’s House, Part 2rnJoe Morton, Turn Me LoosernCynthia Nixon, The Little FoxesrnEva Noblezada, Miss SaigonrnCaroline O’Connor, AnastasiarnLaura Osnes, BandstandrnAisling O’Sullivan, The Beauty Queen of LeenanernDavid Hyde Pierce, A Life; Hello, Dolly!rnBen Platt, Dear Evan HansenrnDaniel Radcliffe, PrivacyrnAmy Ryan, Love, Love, LovernNora Schell, SpamiltonrnJeremy Secomb, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet StreetrnAnna Deveare Smith, Notes From The FieldrnJohn Douglas Thompson, Jitney; A Doll’s House/The FatherrnKate Walsh, If I ForgetrnMichelle Wilson, Sweat
