The Outer Critics Circle Awards are decided upon by a group of writers "covering New York theatre for out-of town newspapers, national publications and other media beyond Broadway." Tracy Letts' drama August: Osage County earned the Outstanding New Broadway Play, while Young Frankenstein and Xanadu tied for Outstanding New Broadway Musical.
