Hannah Wasileski-Fires in the MirrorApril 14, 2020 at 8:18 pm #1203427324Expect Little Shop and Secret Life of Bees to win the top awards. Both also have a good chance to sweep the musical acting categories except for Featured Actress. It’s a public voted awards show so it depends how crazy people go for Little Shop. I was lucky enough to see Little Shop and I would vote for it in every category.

Ruey Horng Sun-The HeadlandsThis marks the second year in a row that there was a tie in the costume design category. Last year it was shared by The House That Will Not Stand and Alice By Heart.
