The Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle revealed the recipients of its 2018 awards March 19. The 49th annual ceremony, hosted by Wenzel Jones, was held at Pasadena's A Noise Within.

The Los Angeles engagement of the Hamilton national tour won in all five categories it had received nominations, sharing the win for Production with Skylight Theatre Company’s Rotterdam. Lin-Manuel Miranda’s musical was one of three to win for Musical Score, alongside Wayne Kirkpatrick and Karey Kirkpatrick’s Something Rotten! and Jeanine Tesori and Lisa Kron’s Fun Home, which both played Center Theatre Group’s Ahmanson Theatre.

Also representing Center Theatre Group was Bright Star Tony nominee Carmen Cusack, whose turn in the musical’s national tour at the Ahmanson earned her a Lead Performance award. Five other winners joined her in the category: Tim Cummings for The House in Scarsdale, Joe Morton for Turn Me Loose, Tonya Pinkins for Time Alone, Ashley Romans for Rotterdam, and Debra Jo Rupp for The Cake.
