For every Young actor or actress, the Jimmy Awards are the biggest night of their lives. The work hard for months to put on a high school performance that could possibly make it. One a year at the Minskoff Theatre (home to The Lion King), the brightest stars of our nations high schools gather to see who are the brightest stars of all.
We all know that being rewarded for the time and effort you put into a project makes it worth your time, and these students are no exception. Life long theater fans meet together with current Broadway stars to celebrate their achievements. Last year the current Evan Hansen(Dear Evan Hanse) won the best actor award and his life changed from there.Andrew Feldman now stars as the show's leading character, at only 16. But that doesn't stop him from playing eight shows a week and rocking at it.
This year's awards were filled with lots of amazing fashion and heart warming performances. The one that touched our hearts the most was the performance of the song You Will Be Found, from the Tony Award Winning Best Musical Dear Evan Hansen. Feldman appeared along with 86 Jimmy nominees, they sang the song at a specially made Dear Evan Hansen themed Sing For Hope piano.
The night also featured appearances by Renee Rapp, last years winner of the Best Actress Jimmy, who is now starring as Regina George in the Broadway musical Mean Girls. The evening was hosted by Tony Winner and former Evan Hansen, Ben Platt. It was truly a night to remember!
