Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical

A Male with 50% of stage time, who sings a majority of the male solos, or whose character gets top billing or last curtain call. Voted on by the New Depot Players’ Paid Members, all cast and crew members from the NDP’s 2006-2007 season, and anyone currently nominated for an award. All eligible cast members have been listed and then are voted on. The one with the highest votes wins. Choose ONLY one.

Michael Austin in 2 By 5. A soloist whose tenor voice brought you such love songs as “Among My Yesterdays,” the thought provoking “A Quiet Thing,“ and the hilarious “Our Eyes Met.“

Ric Chiapetta in The Good, The Bad, The Married. This renowned singer was back with the NDP performing such ballads as “What if We Had Loved Like That” from Baby, “You Should Be Loved” from Side Show, and “Funny” from City of Angels.

Joseph Harrison in The Good, The Bad, The Married. This performer brought to life such musical hits as “What Do I Need with Love,“ the duet “ I’d Give it All for You,“ and the heartbreaking “Shouldn’t I Be Less in Love with You.“

Brandon Rose in 2 By 5. This actor delights audiences again with his impeccable comic timing. Here he sings such songs as Chicago’s “Mister Cellophane,“, the toe-tapping song “Ten Percent,“ and then he partners up for a rubber band dance in “Me and My Baby."

Jay Tryall in 2 By 5. A thrilling performance with memorable songs like the show opening number from Cabaret, “Willkommen,“ a love song to the queen of pastries “Sara Lee,” and a chilling zombie romp in “The Money Song."
