*The ensemble casts of Combinus and Coram Boy will be honored collectively on the dais.
Five past recipients of the Distinguished Performance Award will also be honored on the dais for their work this past season. Those individuals are ineligible for award consideration, as the Distinguished Performance Award is a one-time honor. The past honorees include Zoe Caldwell (A Spanish Play), Kathleen Chalfant (Great Expectations, Spalding Gray: Stories Left to Tell), Christine Ebersole (Grey Gardens), Frank Langella (Frost/Nixon) and Christopher Plummer (Inherit the Wind).
The ceremony will also honor Michael Mayer, Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and John
Kander and the late Fred Ebb with special awards.
