This community celebration features over fifty performers presenting numbers from the hit musicals presented in the Lower Mainland in 2014, while also presenting awards to people and companies that present these musicals. As well as the thrilling performances, the ultimate goal of the evening is to celebrate the hundreds of people who dedicate hours of their time working on and off stage with the numerous companies that present musicals. Musical Theatre is alive and well in here in the Lower Mainland, with 65 shows performed in 2014 including full productions, revues, and “pantos”.
