The Best of 2012: Part 4: ‘Best Performance by Supporting Actor and Actress in a Musical’

For the next week we will be posting lists of our favorites of 2012 in several categories. These lists reflect the opinions of members of the writing staff of DCMetroTheaterArts. We were allowed to nominated shows and performances we reviewed and did not review – but attended. With over 1,200 productions to choose from, it was not an easy task.

With the amount of riches on our local stages, it’s only reasonable that some of your favorites may not have made our lists – but that’s where you come in!  We invite you to leave comments and to share your own favorites of 2012 with our readers.

Thank you for supporting the theater and arts community in the DC Metro Area, and thanks for reading DCMetroTheaterArts.

Kudos to everyone in our theatre and arts community for your glorious work in 2012! We wish you and your loved ones a healthy and successful 2013 filled with sold-out houses! Congratulations on your wonderful performances in 2012!
