You can now vote for Back to the Future: The Musical for the BroadwayWorld UK Awards! With four WhatsOnStage Awards under its belt already, it'd be great to see more audience-voted awards coming its way!

You can skip categories that BTTF:TM isn't nominated for, so it's a very straight-forward and quick process!

Tom Hiddleston (Betrayal), Best Actor in a Play

My deepest thanks to the American Theatre Wing, The Broadway League & the Tony Committee for this great honour, and my congratulations to my fellow nominees. I’m very grateful. I share it with the whole company, creative team and everybody involved in our production of Betrayal. These uncertain and extraordinary times have put our theatre communities at home and abroad under great strain. The best way to keep theatre alive is to help take care of all those who make it happen. If you are working in the industry and need help, please visit https://actorsfund.org/ (US) and https://theatreartists.fund/ (UK). I miss the theatre - it means so much to so many. I hope we’ll all find a way back soon.

Surprisingly (to me at least) this is the only BroadwayWorld UK Award nomination for Betrayal. 

This award is completely fan voted so please go to their website and vote for Tom. 

VOTE

[dana-lucky]

Attention! My latest post refers to different awards than the previous one! If you've already voted in the BroadwayWorld UK Awards, you can still nominate in the WhatsOnStage Awards.

[appleflavoredkitkats]

ok but this is also a sign that hana should win broadwayworlds uk awards for best alternate!!

do you ever think about how insane hana stewart’s run is in six. she starts off as a normal seymour/parr alternate for the w/e. pandemic happened, lots of cancelled shows. she returns. she shifts roles from seymour to parr mid-show. in a quick notice, she stays overnight somewhere else to help the uk tour. she ends her run in the w/e. she then is asked to fly to broadway and cover as an alternate. like what the fuck

[musicalgifs]

Just in case anyone is interested in voting! Vote for who you'd like, but if you didn't have a show in mind for UK musical, please vote for Bat Out Of Hell as opposed to none!
