59th Annual Drama Desk Awards - Winners

The Tony Awards are TOMORROW! On that note - I won't be liveblogging like I usually do! I'm assisting in a Tony's party that's fundraising for Suzart Productions, a local Ottawa non-profit community theatre initiative. (Mostly, we just want to hang out with people and watch the Tony's, but might as well raise some money for a great cause.) Check out @OttTonyAwards on Twitter - and if you're in Ottawa, you can pay at the door to get in! Silent auction, coffee station and a fun photobooth! (ottawatonyawards.com)

Anyway. I wanted to share the Drama Desk Awards winners! Let's prep for Broadway's biggest night; I always love to see who gets the Drama Desk Awards.
