Mo Brady and Nikka Graff Lanzarone announce the four 2016 "Ensemblist Award" winners.

This year's Ensemblist Award winners were chosen by last year's winners, Cameron Adams, Jeffrey Schecter, Ryan Steele and Betsy Struxness for "embodying the ensemblist spirit, on and off the stage."

Kim Fauré plays "Demeter" in the Broadway revival of CATS. Adams names her as "t he modern Broadway Gypsy and a true triple threat! She can bounce from leggy showgirl, to quirky character roles to cats! I was lucky enough to be in a show with Kim and she always made me a better performer."

Gregory Haney is current compan y member of Hamilton, one of his five Broadway credits. He began 2016 by performing in the ens emble of Grease: Live on FOX. Struxness calls him " a true triple threat: a gorgeous dancer, fabulous singer and can absolutely hold his own as an actor in a play."

Dennis Stowe made his Broadway debut in the 2002 revival of Man of La Mancha. Since then he has performed in ten Broadway shows including Disney's Aladdin, for which he was bestowed the Gypsy Robe. "He inspires me as a person, artist and professional working in the industry," says Steele.

Kevin Worley has been in three Broadway shows in 2016: Dames at Sea, Something Rotten! and Holiday Inn. "What I love about Kevin is he's just a down to earth guy who wants to do great work. He's just one of those people that I'm always excited to see and know that I am in the company of great talent and integrity," says Schechter.

The four actors, all former guests of the podcast, can be heard on the "Listener Questions 2016' episode of The Ensemblist podcast, available for download beginning December 18. They will also be featured in a 14-page spread in the January 2017 issue of BLEEP and with their own Lights on Broadway trading cards by Justin "Squigs" Robertson.

All episodes of The Ensemblist are now available through Stitcher, TuneIn, Podbean or the iOS Podcasts app.
