New York Drama Critics' Circle Names Little Bear Ridge Road Best Play

The New York Drama Critics’ Circle met on Thursday night to determine the winners of its 90th annual awards. The Circle named Samuel D. Hunter’s Little Bear Ridge Road Best Play of the season. This is the second time the Circle has recognized Hunter in this category, having awarded Best Play to A Case for the Existence of God in 2022.

After a deeply divided first ballot, the Circle opted not to give a Best Musical award this year.

After multiple ballots, Alden Ehrenreich emerged triumphant in the Individual Performance category for his Broadway debut in Becky Shaw.

The cast of the Broadway revival of Death of a Salesman was awarded Best Ensemble.

The Circle also awarded special citations to Lincoln Center Theatre’s revival of Ragtime, Wallace Shawn and André Gregory for career achievement, and costume designer Qween Jean for her work on Cats: The Jellicle Ball, Liberation, and Saturday Church.
