Again, the Drama Desk voters, in general, tend to give higher marks to Broadway shows than the panel of Drama Desk nominators. In 2019. Broadway shows won 28 of the 34 awards. Of the 6 prizes that went to Off-Broadway, they were all categories without any Broadway competition.
(As for Christian Borle winning Featured Actor in a Musical, that probably was a foregone conclusion. He's a popular, 5-time Drama Desk nominee. The last time Borle won a Drama Desk for Featured Actor in a Musical (for ''Something Rotten''), he even beat Leslie Odom in ''Hamilton.'') |
