The 66th Annual Drama Desk Award nominations have been announced with Tony-nominated new musical SIX receiving the most nods with 10 nominations firmly under their belt, including Outstanding Musical and Outstanding Orchestrations. Kimberly Akimbo, the Broadway bound musical, followed closely behind with nine nominations.
The Drama Desk Awards honor not only Broadway productions, but also Off-Broadway and Off-Off Broadway - allowing them all to compete against each other in the same categories. Critics, editors, journalists and publishers will all have their vote on who they believe should take the crown in each category.
Who do you think deserves the awards? You can find out the winners on the week of June 6.
