Broadway World Loves Spring Awakening. Well Duh!?

The BWW.com Fan Choice Awards were announced yesterday (or basically one big online fan poll) and while this is an audience voted award and has nothing to do with the Tony Awards (coming up this Sunday on CBS at 8pm), they might actually be a pretty accurate guess to who may win this Sunday at the mother-of-them-all Theatre Awards.

My guess is that since you actually had to sign up using each email, it prevented people from voting multiple times (or at least, not as much as the Broadway.com Audience Awards).

Here are the winners, let me count the Spring Awakenings...:
