The Blumeys recognize, reward, and encourage talent and achievement in musical theater among high school students in the greater Charlotte area. Much like the Tony Awards, the Blumeys combine entertaining performances with the awards presentations.
As a Best Musical nominee, the cast and crew of Anastasia performed “Once Upon a December” from the show, and Sophie Davis and Lance Toppin performed in the opening and closing acts, as well as in the best actor and best actress numbers. Emma Taylor served as one of the three nominees selected to be an official stage manager of the Blumey Ceremony.
In addition to the students, congratulations go to the creative team of Jenny Goodfellow, director; Linda Booth, choreographer; and Lindsey Schroeder, musical director.
