As first revealed to leading lady Idina Menzel on Show People with Paul Wontorek, the new musical If/Then swept the 2014 Broadway.com Audience Choice Awards, the only major theatrical prize voted on by fans! The show won a total of six awards and Menzel herself triumphed in two categories, Favorite Leading Actress in a Musical and Favorite Onstage Pair with James Snyder. The show also won featured performance prizes for LaChanze and Anthony Rapp and the song "Here I Go" by Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey was named Favorite New Song.
Neil Patrick Harris won three trophies for Hedwig and the Angry Inch: Favorite Leading Actor in a Musical, Favorite Diva Performance and Favorite Funny Performance. Also honored for their performances on Broadway during the 2013-2014 season were Daniel Radcliffe (The Cripple of Inishmaan), Audra McDonald (Lady Day at Emerson's Bar and Grill), Andy Mientus (Les Miserables), Courtney Reed (Aladdin), Celia Keenan-Bolger (The Glass Menagerie) and Jim Norton (Of Mice and Men).
