Also among the nominees are popular Los Angeles theatre companies including Pasadena Playhouse, Center Theatre Group, South Coast Repertory, and more.
The Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle has announced the nominees for theatrical excellence for 2020 and 2021. This year's awards have been combined due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Among this year's nominees are the national tours of Hamilton, Frozen, The Band's Visit, What the Constitution Means to Me, as well as nominations for popular Los Angeles theatre companies including Pasadena Playhouse, Center Theatre Group, South Coast Repertory, and more.
This year, out of an abundance of caution, the organization will forgo its annual in-person ceremony. Winners will be announced in the upcoming weeks.
