Chris Durang & Dawne will receive a Special Nightlife Award for their legendary nightclub act, and they will also perform during the evening, which will be hosted by actress-singer Lucie Arnaz and Tony winner Bill Irwin.
In a statement, producer-host Scott Siegel said, "I have been trying to bring Chris Durang & Dawne together again for almost the entire ten years that the Nightlife Awards has been in existence. I'm thrilled that I am finally succeeding because my wife and I happened to be at The Criterion Center in Times Square when Chris Durang & Dawne premiered in 1986 at a 10:30 PM show. We laughed our heads off and never forgot this extraordinary act."
The evening, which honors the best in cabaret, comedy & jazz, differs from other award shows in that it features no acceptance speeches. Instead of speeches, the winners perform.
In honor of the 10th anniversary of The Nightlife Awards, the show's creator/producer, Siegel, has announced that this year's show will bring back some of the last decade's most memorable performers in an all-star tribute to New York nightlife. Additional artists will be announced at a later date.
