PARAMOUNT THEATRE WINS 8 JEFF AWARDS
We are so excited and thrilled to announce that Paramount Theatre is taking home 8 Jeff Awards for the 2016/2017 Season, including Best Large Musical, Best Director and Best Actor for Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. After just three years of eligibility and a whopping 45 nominations, this brings our total wins to 16 Jeff Awards with an undefeated title for Best Large Musical. Congratulations to all our nominees and the amazing casts, crew, production teams and staff who put their passion into these productions every day. A special shout-out to our incredible and inspiring Artistic Director Jim Corti and the man who started it all with a simple dream, President & CEO Tim Rater. Without both their vision and leadership, none of this would be possible. A big thank you to the rest of our Paramount family, the best subscribers and patrons a theatre could ask for. WE DID IT!
