In the recent 18th Annual Broadway.com Audience Choice Awards,

'Mean Girls' emerged as a dominant force, securing eight awards,

including the title of Favorite New Musical.

Meanwhile, 'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child' claimed the accolade for Favorite New Play.

The announcement of winners took place today,

with a celebratory cocktail reception scheduled for May 24 in Manhattan.

This year’s results reflect some similarities with the Tony Award nominees,

but with a twist—nearly 21,000 fans participated in the voting process,

leading to unique outcomes like 'The Parisian Woman' earning two awards,

and Chris Evans from 'Lobby Hero' also gaining recognition.

The awards featured 22 competitive categories,

many of which aren't represented at the Tonys,

including Favorite Long-Running Show,

which this year was awarded to 'Dear Evan Hansen',

the previous year's Favorite New Musical winner.

Before 'Hamilton' interrupted the trend,

'Wicked' had a record streak of eight consecutive wins in this category.

There were some quirky categories as well,

such as Favorite Diva Performance and Favorite Replacement,

which honors actors stepping into established roles.
