A peek at early voting for the Broadway World Las Vegas Awards provides some fascinating insight into the Strip entertainment scene through the eyes of out-of-town professionals.
Donny & Marie Osmond lead in the rankings for best long-running show and best band. “Wicked,” staged in a limited, sold-out run at Smith Center, beats the combined totals of its nearest rivals, while “Jersey Boys” at Paris gets the nod for best book musical.
Interestingly, there’s only a spread of seven percentage points between the top three contenders for best choreography: “Rock of Ages” at the Venetian, Jamie King for Cirque du Soleil’s “Michael Jackson One” at Mandalay Bay and Emma Rogers for “Dancing Queen” at Planet Hollywood.
“Michael Jackson One” leads in two categories: best theater and best spectacular. Brad Garrett is in a dead heat with legendary veteran Don Rickles, but Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club at MGM Grand out totals his two closest rivals.
