MAC ANNOUNCES THE 2024 MAC AWARD NOMINEES AND HONOREES The Manhattan Association of Cabarets (MAC) is pleased to announce the 2024 MAC Award nominees. The nominees were determined by votes cast by the active MAC membership, except for the song, comedy/novelty song, recording, and major recording categories, which were determined by special committees. As previously announced, VIVIAN REED, LEE ROY REAMS, and JEAN-PIERRE PERREAUX will each receive a Lifetime Achievement Award. In addition, MAC is delighted to announce that MARCIA RONEY has been selected to receive MAC's Hanson Award, which is a Board of Directors Award that recognizes on-going excellence in performance of someone who has never been nominated for a MAC Award. The winners will be revealed as the envelopes are opened live at the 38th Annual MAC Awards on Monday, April 15 at 7:00 pm at Peter Norton Symphony Space, 2537 Broadway at 95th Street in New York City.
