Let me admit first that I am both an OCC and DD member. Though considering the conspicously awkward nature of the OCC noms, I am seriously reconsidering my membership...
Unlike the Tonys, these awards honor both Broadway and Off-Broadway productions. “Mary Poppins,” which received mixed reviews in November, unexpectedly received 11 OCC nominations including Best New Musical and Best Actress in a Musical for Ashley Brown. “LoveMusik,” a new musical about the life of Kurt Weill which opens next week, received 12 DD nominations, the most of any show. In a sign of great disparity, “Spring
Awakening” received ten DD nominations and merely three OCC nominations.
