Roy Berko's 2024 BroadwayWorld Cleveland Critics Awards

At the end of each year, Broadwayworld Cleveland's Critic Roy Berko elects to recognize productions, performers and technicians to be recognized from Cleveland, OH stagings.  The format for these acknowledgments is being altered.  Starting with the 2004 production year, attention will be given, in the form of BRAVOS, rather than to specific classifications (e.g., Best Performer, Best Musical).
