If you follow Broadway stars on Twitter, you probably saw the #BACA2013 hashtag trending on May 5. BACA (a.k.a. the Broadway.com Audience Choice Awards) was a star-studded evening filled with fierce red carpet fashion, hilarious speeches and a wild after-party that lasted well into the wee hours. Don’t feel bad if you missed out on the BACA fun, though. Thanks to social media, you can feel like you were there.
Here's what the Broadway faves had to say on Twitter as they posted throughout the night:
