THE HALLE AWARDS
Top Secret!
This is a surprise for Halle. Please don’t mention anything about the Halle Awards in group chats, on social media, or where she might see it.
If you have questions — text or call John Clougherty individually (never in a group).
✨Your Road to a Halle Award✨
Four steps to make your Broadway debut (and make Halle’s day)
1. Choose Your Category 🎭
From classic solos to dramatic memes to lighting design with a lamp and a dream, choose what speaks to your inner theatre kid. Or invent your own!
2. Film Your Performance 📸
Your phone is your stage. Keep it short, theatrical, ridiculous, or heartfelt; bonus points for creativity. Props, costumes, and bad British accents welcome.
3. Submit by September 1st 📤
Use the “Submit Your Performance” button up top to upload your video. You’ll select your category and give your performance a title worthy of Playbill.
4. Watch the Show & Celebrate 🏆
If Halle says yes, we’re throwing a full Tony-style awards night. You’ll see all the nominations, watch the show, and maybe win your own Halle Award.
Submit Your Performance

Nominees will be announced at the ceremony after the big question is popped!
Categories
Whether you’re belting ballads, directing your dog, or designing a set with throw pillows, there’s a category for you.
Or just make one up. That’s what Elphaba would do.
🎶 Performance
Bring the drama! Submit a song, monologue, dance, or full-blown interpretive piece.
Broadway isn’t ready for you.
🧠 Original & Inventive
Write a song. Make up a scene. Do something we’ve never seen before. Weird = wonderful.
Chaos is canon.
🎬 Cinematic
Lights, camera, chaos. Remake a TikTok, direct your cat, or edit your way into theatrical glory. Oscars who?
💖 Halle-Specific Tributes
Honor Halle the way only you can. Whether it’s heartfelt or hilarious, this one’s for her. Tears optional, applause guaranteed.
🎨 Design & Concept
Costumes from your closet. Lighting from a lava lamp. Stage design from a chair stack.
Tony-worthy innovation encouraged.
💡 Create Your Own!
