Nominations Announced For State-Wide High School Musical Bobby G Awards

The event will be hosted by 2019 Bobby G Lead Actress Abby Linderman and held at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House on May 18, 2023.

Nominations have been announced for the ninth annual Bobby G Awards by the Denver Center for the Performing Arts (DCPA). The event will be hosted by 2019 Bobby G Lead Actress Abby Linderman and held at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House on May 18, 2023.

This year, adjudicators evaluated 50 participating productions in 20 different counties in Colorado. Over 4,000 students were adjudicated, 750 of which participated in workshops held by DCPA Teaching Artists. Out of those 50 participating schools, 31 received nominations.

The Bobby G Awards are a state-wide high school musical theatre program that recognizes Colorado students and educators in the areas of performance, design, direction, choreography, musical direction, orchestration, stage management, technical production, and overall production excellence. The awards ceremony serves as an opportunity for the DCPA to honor Colorado musical theatre programs and for students to celebrate and support each other.

The winners of the Bobby G Outstanding Lead Performer awards will represent Colorado in a week-long series of intensive workshops with industry professionals in preparation for the highly anticipated Jimmy Awards on Broadway. The national ceremony will take place on June 26 at the Minskoff Theatre, hosted by stage and screen star Corbin Bleu.

At the 2022 Jimmy Awards, Colorado's Lead Actor representative, Thomas Beeker, was selected as a Top Eight Finalist out of 92 participants and received a $3,000 scholarship.

More details about the Jimmy Awards can be found at jimmyawards.com. For more information on the Bobby G Awards, visit the DCPA NewsCenter.

In its 2021/22 season, the DCPA engaged with more than 703,000 visitors, generating a $203 million economic impact in ticket sales alone.
