Supposedly that was going to be rectified - but clearly has not. Thrilled as I am that Drew Rothman was nominated in THE BERLIOZ PROJECT, I agree with Mr Hawkes that it does seem a questionable endeavor. <div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Deb<br><div><br><div><div>On Nov 8, 2012, at 6:17 AM, Robert Hawkes wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px">One would like to congratulate friends and colleagues nominated for the Broadway World Cleveland "Awards".

Alison Garrigan is also nominated as Alison Hernan because some "nominator" remembered her previous name and didn't bother to check. Zac Hoogendyk is nominated for an Equity role in "MilkMilkLemonade" at convergence-continuum, a play in which he did not appear and the cast of which had no Equity members anyway. Somebody saw Zac Hudak in the play and misremembered. </span><br>
