Zachary Levi Wins Theatre World Award

Yvonne Strahosvki won for her Broadway debut last year, and now Zachary Levi is being honored with a Theatre World Award for his first role on Broadway, as the male lead in the romantic musical comedy First Date.

First presented in 1945, the Theatre World Awards, founded by John Willis, the Editor-in-Chief of both Theatre World and its companion volume, Screen World, are the oldest awards given for Outstanding Broadway and Off-Broadway Debut Performances. They are presented annually at the end of the theater season to six actors and six actresses for their significant, reviewable, debut performances in a Broadway or off-Broadway production.

The winners will be celebrated at a ceremony on June 2 at Circle in the Square, hosted by Peter Filichia. Click here for the full list of winners.
