Audience Choice Awards 2017: The Winners

Yesterday evening the New York Theatre Guide was invited to our official affiliate partner Broadway.com's cocktail reception to meet some of the winners of the 2017 Audience Choice Awards, voted for by the theatregoing public. The private reception was held at 48 Lounge in Manhattan and we thought we'd take this opportunity to share photos with you of some of the winners in attendance as well as a comprehensive list of all the 2017 winners.

We also had the opportunity to interview some of the talented winners, so stay tuned and read our interviews over the next couple of weeks, starting with our interview with two-time Tony Award nominee Andrew Rannells!

Congratulations to the Broadway production of Dear Evan Hansen, who lead the pack, scooping an impressive total of 8 audience choice awards, whilst Lin-Manuel Miranda's smash hit Hamilton continues its dominance by picking up the "favorite long-running show" award.
