The Theatre World honors are awarded to performers for making their first major New York stage appearance (Broadway or Off-Broadway debuts). The 61st awards ceremony took place May 23 at Studio 54.

The 2005 Theatre World Awards winners are: Christina Applegate, Sweet Charity, Ashley Atkinson, Fat Pig, Hank Azaria, Monty Python's Spamalot, Gordon Clapp, Glengarry Glen Ross, Dan Fogler, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, Conor Donovan, Privilege, Heather Goldenhersh, Doubt, Carla Gugino, After The Fall, Jenn Harris, Modern Orthodox, Cheyenne Jackson, All Shook Up, Celia Keenan-Bolger, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee and Tyler Maynard, Altar Boyz.

Created in 1944 by Theatre World founders Daniel Blum, Norman McDonald, and John Willis to coincide with the first release of Theatre World, the now 60-year-old definitive pictorial and statistical annual record of the American theatre, the Theatre World Awards are the oldest awards given for debut performances in New York City, as well as one of the oldest honors bestowed on New York actors.

A committee of New York drama critics currently chooses six actors and six actresses for the Theatre World Award, who have distinguished themselves in Broadway and Off-Broadway productions during the past theatre season. Votes are tabulated and coordinated by critic Peter Filichia, longtime Theatre World editor John Willis, and Theatre World associate editor Ben Hodges.
