Winners of the 32nd Annual Lucille Lortel Awards, which took place May 7 in a ceremony hosted by Hamilton and SNL star Taran Killam, have been announced.
J.T. Roger’s political thriller Oslo—now on Broadway at the Lincoln Center Theater’s Vivian Beaumont—was the most-awarded production of the night, winning in four categories, including Best Play, Best Direction, as well as acting honors for Jennifer Ehle and Michael Aronov.
Dear Evan Hansen co-stars Ben Platt and Rachel Bay Jones won in their respective acting categories, while the David Yazbek-Itamar Moses collaboration The Band’s Visit was named this year’s Outstanding Musical.
