NEW YORK, N.Y. – This year’s host of the National High School Musical Theater Awards will certainly be comfortable handling the contest. After all, he won it three years ago.
Ryan McCartan, who co-stars in “Liv & Maddie” on the Disney Channel and “Royal Pains” on USA, on Monday returns to the same Broadway stage where in 2011 he won the “Glee”-like competition for musical teenagers.
Nicknamed the Jimmy Awards after theatre owner James Nederlander, contest winners receive a $10,000 scholarship award, capping a months-long winnowing process that began with 60,000 students from 1,500 schools and ends at the Minskoff Theatre.
