Nominees to be Announced for The Curtain Up Show Album Of The Year 2016 in Association with Todaytix

Nominees for The Curtain Up Show Album of the Year 2016 in association with TodayTix will be revealed live on Resonance FM this Friday at 4.00pm GMT. This year, three categories (each with six nominees) will be open to the public vote. Voting opens at 4.30pm GMT on Friday 2 December 2016, and closes at 5.00pm GMT on Wednesday 4 January 2017.

Winners will be announced on Resonance FM at 4.00pm GMT on Friday 6 January 2017. One lucky voter will win a £100 TodayTix Gift Card.

Hosts Tim McArthur and Nathan Matthews said "Last year, we launched The Curtain Up Show Album of the Year as a way of recognising the phenomenal musical talent showcased in London theatre, and we're delighted to be able to recognise such wonderful talent again this year. In what has been a testing time in America, we want to show solidarity with our fellow theatre makers by showcasing the equally phenomenal musical talent that can be found on Broadway. We're also delighted that this year, the Best Solo Album / Non Cast Recording category will feature both UK and American nominees."

"In 2015, we selected Bend It Like Beckham and Cynthia Erivo and Oliver Tompsett Sing Scott Alan as our Albums of the Year. They are both fantastic albums, but the decision making process was extremely difficult. This year, we've made things easier (for us, at least) and put the power into the hands of our listeners. We love playing the music, but we think it's only fair that they choose the winners! And to make make it even sweeter, one lucky voter will win a £100 TodayTix Gift Card!"
