Award For Innovation: ‘Dumbstruck’ from Fine Chisel at Zoo.

MTN Newcomer: ‘I Need a Doctor – The Unauthorised Whosical Adventure’ from Stormy Teacup Theatre Ltd at Pleasance Courtyard.

Commenting on this year’s awards, Caroline Routh, Executive Producer for the Musical Theatre Network, said: “Over 70 shows seen at the start of the Fringe were whittled down to a shortlist of 12; we then had some really tough decisions to make so that we could be sure that we were reflecting the best of musical theatre on the Fringe this year. There’s been such energy and inventiveness in some of the work we’ve seen that we’re really excited about what the future holds”.
