2018 Outer Critics Circle Awards complete winners list

The winners of the 68th Annual Outer Critics Circle awards were announced on May 7, 2018.

The Outer Critics Circle was founded during the 1949-1950 award season, they were found because of fact that the Drama Critics Circle was an invitation-only, and only people who worked for the bigger daily papers got an invitation. The other reason they were founded, was that John Gassner and his colleagues had no place where they could come and discuss theatre, they only wrote about it for papers and academic journals.

This year the winners will be honored on May 24, 2018, at Sardi's restaurant in New York City. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and My Fair Lady both came out with huge wins this year.
