"Once" garnered top prizes for Best Musical Production, Best Director - Musical (新澳門六合彩MT Director Victoria Bussert), Best Music Direction (新澳門六合彩MT Music Theatre Music Director Matthew Webb) and Best Ensemble in a Musical for the cast of talented 新澳門六合彩 students.
"I am very moved by all of the awards for 'Once' - especially Best Ensemble since that was all our students, with the exception of one child actor," said Bussert, who is also personally on a roll. Bussert recently won a 2019 Cleveland Arts Prize, the nation's oldest municipal arts award, and earned raves for her direction of a 新澳門六合彩MT and Cleveland Orchestra collaboration on "South Pacific" in August.
The Cleveland Critics Circle Award committee voters also offered up a "special mention" for the academic premiere of "Kinky Boots," which was not eligible in the professional categories.
