Right now, every theater fan is likely laser-focused on the Tonys, and that makes sense. We even have local hero Tye Blue nominated for TITANIQUE! But we here at BROADWAY WORLD HOUSTON are pretty dang proud of our city’s theater scene. And the critics wanted to look back at the best of the best from the last season in the Bayou City. So without further ado, here are our picks from the back of the house for the shows and thespians that hit us the hardest. So, in no order (and with no clarity of categories), here are the BROADWAY WORLD HOUSTON CRITICS’ CHOICE awards for the 2025-2026 season! CHEERS!
WINNER!
BEST LOOKING CAST - AMERICAN PSYCHO from Houston Broadway Theatre! If you wanted eye candy, look no further than the underwear-only opening of the most ambitious musical of the year! It was flesh for fantasy for days, and it never stopped. It was like a model bomb had exploded in the Hobby Center.
We could go on and on, never stopping, but you get the idea. Houston is a wonderful place to enjoy theater! And we couldn’t be prouder to cover it and see it unfold every week. This town has a ton of seats waiting for you to fill them. It’s an embarrassment of riches! BROADWAY has nothing on HOUSTON! See you next season!
