The four new categories for best leading and supporting performances in a musical will debut during the 2022 ceremony alongside the newly created outstanding ensemble category.
“Off-Broadway has always sought to be a shining example of diversity and inclusivity,” Casey York, president of the Off-Broadway League, said in a statement. “As the world around us — and specifically in New York City’s theatre scene — continues to evolve, it’s important for Off-Broadway to lead the way in acknowledging and celebrating artistic excellence in a more inclusive way. We want to truly recognize the many talented performers in our community.
“We are dedicated to seeing and acknowledging all the members of our Off-Broadway family as we continue to learn and grow and look towards the future of the Lucille Lortel Awards,” George Forbes, executive director of the Lucille Lortel Theatre, followed up in his own statement. The new categories will go into effect during the upcoming 37th annual awards show, which is slated to take place on May 1, 2022. Nominations will be announced in early April.
