If you love Broadway (and who doesn't?!), you'll want to check out the following pages on Tony Award winners. As we close 2011 and cruise into 2012, people are already talking about Tony season and who might get nominations in May.

I've recently compiled lists for Best Costumer, Best Lighting Designer, Best Actress in a Featured Role (Musical), Best Actor in a Featured Role (Play), and many more. This is in addition to my previous  lists for Best Play, Best Musical, Best Score, Best Actor, and Best Actress categories.

To see every award list (16 so far), visit the main Tony Awards page. And check back often as I am working hard to get all the major categories posted before we hit Tony Season in 2012.

Happy New Year!

The end of 2011 also means the end of several shows on Broadway.

Having just opened at the Schoenfeld Theatre, Bonnie and Clyde will close today, December 30, 2011.

On December 31, 2011, The Addams Family will close to make room for the London transfer of Ghost the Musical, while the highly touted Private Lives ends its run early also on December 31st.

Ending on a high note, Hugh Jackman ends his very successful one-man (and 18-piece orchestra) show on New Year's Day, January 1, 2012.

For a list of the special holiday show times this weekend, check out the Broadway New Year's 2011 Performance Schedule.

We're in the home stretch of the 2011 holiday season, and that means more changes to the regular Broadway performance schedules.

Before you head off to the theatre in the Big Apple, check this listing of Broadway schedules for this weekend as we cruise past 2011 and ring in 2012.

Also, be sure to note that some shows do not have a Saturday evening performance because of New Year's Eve celebrations, and several productions are actually completing their Broadway run in the next few days.
