Best Musical Tony Award contender COME FROM AWAY won big at the Toronto Theatre Critics Awards including Best New Musical, Best Production of a Musical, and Best Direction of a Musical. Mirvish Productions produced the show at the Royal Alexandra Theatre last December before it moved down to New York.

In the play categories, two shows tied for best production: John (three awards in total) and 887 (two awards in total). However, Obsidian Theatre Company won the most TTCAs of any Toronto theatre company - two for its co-production of Passing Strange with the Musical Stage Company; and three for its coproduction of "Master Harold"... and the Boys with the Shaw Festival.

The Toronto Theatre Critics Awards were founded in 2011 and are given out on an annual basis by a group of print, online and radio critics that now includes those from The Globe and Mail, the Toronto Star, NOW magazine, the National Post, Torontoist, Stage Door and the Slotkin Letter. This year, the awards changed format and expanded - allowing the membership to vote individually rather than on behalf of the publications or outlets they work for or operate.

The Toronto Theatre Critics Awards will be given out on June 19th 2017 at The
Globe and Mail Centre Event Venue, on the top floor of the news
organization's new headquarters.
