At the end of each year, Broadwayworld-CLE recognizes productions, performers and technicians who took part in Cleveland area theater presentations in the previous year. The format for these acknowledgments is being altered. Starting with the 2004 production year, attention will be given, in the form of BRAVOS, rather than to specific classifications (e.g., Best Performer, Best Musical).
The BW-CLE Bravos are awarded to:
Victoria Bussert for her focused direction of Into the Woods (Great Lakes Theater), Ride the Cyclone (Baldwin Wallace/Beck Center) and Ordinary Days (Baldwin Wallace/Playhouse Square)
Terri Kent, director, and Martin Cespedes, choreographer, for their execution of Jesus Christ Superstar (Porthouse Theatre)
