The 2006 NYMF Awards for Excellence were presented on Sunday, November 12th at the Hudson Theatre (145 W. 44th St.).

The Awards were featured as part of the NYMF 2006 Awards Gala honoring Kevin McCollum (producer of The Drowsy Chaperone, Rent, Avenue Q, [title of show], and the upcoming High Fidelity and In The Heights). The Drowsy Chaperone's Bob Martin served as Master of Ceremonies for the evening, which featured special performances by fellow Drowsy cast members Sutton Foster and Beth Leavel, Anthony Rapp (Rent), and more. The evening's performance was directed by Casey Hushion.

"From day one, it has been our plan to have awards such as these for shows in the Festival," said Kris Stewart, NYMF Founder and Executive Director. "There is such a volume of good work happening that it is tremendously important to find a way to recognize, acknowledge and congratulate the best of it."

The 3rd Annual New York Musical Theatre Festival, presented at various venues in New York from September 10th through October 1st, broke attendance records earlier this year.
