There are some exceptional shows being produced this year and the call has been very tight.  We have had to be really strict with criteria to ensure only premieres have been selected for awards (except for best production award).  Our Judges really have their work cut out this week to find the winners from this outstanding list.  Good luck to all the shows!

And dont forget, you can have your say in the WhatsOnStage.com People's Award.  Go along to www.whatsonstage.com/Edinburgh to select your favourite musical - you only get one chance to do this, so make it count!
