To celebrate this year full of amazing guests and all of the the artists that make Broadway tick, Mo Brady and Nikka Graff Lanzarone announce the first annual "Ensemblist Awards" in collaboration with BLEEP Magazine.

The Ensemblist has named six Broadway performers with 2014 Ensemblist Awards: Curtis Holbrook (If/Then), Barrett Martin (Side Show),Rashidra Scott (Beautiful: The Carole King Musical), Samantha Sturm (On the Town), Daniel Watts (Motown the Musical) and Kristen Beth Williams (Pippin). The six actors, all former guests of the podcast, are featured in a 14-page spread in the latest issue of BLEEP. In the magazine feature, each of the six actors answers in-depth questions about their year on Broadway, what they've learned, and what's next for them. The interviews are available online today: http://issuu.com/bleepmag/docs/bleepmag411
