Less than a month after receiving Best Actor and Best Actress Blumey Awards, our winners are heading to New York City this week to begin The Jimmy Awards competition!

Anna Hertel of Ardrey Kell High School won Best Actress for her portrayal of “Velma Kelly” in Chicago. Justin Rivers of Central Academy of Technology and Arts won Best Actor for his portrayal of “Sweeney Todd” in Sweeney Todd. Rivers is also our first back-to-back Blumey Awards Best Actor winner!

Ahead of them taking the stage - we wanted to look back on that special night and send a huge THANK YOU to absolutely all who were involved! Please enjoy this video we put together of some of our favorite moments - set to the song that gave us all goose bumps the rest of the evening! 

We'll be sure to post updates all week long of Anna and Justin's Jimmy Awards Journey, so be sure to follow the Blumenthal and Blumey Awards on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram!

The national show and ceremony, (named after famed Broadway producer, James M. Nederlander), takes place in New York on June 26.
