The Winners of the First Annual Ghostlight Awards Are . . .
Sweet Jumpin’ You-Know-Who!
We got almost four thousand votes for the first annual Ghostlight Awards!
I just love it. It just shows how much support and love there is for those that literally pull the curtain, light the lights, and serve those sippy cups. It takes a lot more to put on a Broadway show than just the people on the stage or on the God mic. But, I don’t need to tell you that, since the number of your votes prove that you know exactly what I’m talking about.
Ok, so those thousands of votes have been counted, and it’s time to announce the winners!
By your votes, the votes of the people, the winners of the first (but not the last) Ghostlight Awards are . . .
