The Kenny Awards

New Years Eve 1974 - 2007

For the past 28 years the KMT has held an annual "Kenny Awards" Ceremony. Forget the Oliviers, forget the Oscars! These are the ones that matter! Since the KMT stages around 90 different productions each year, involving many hundreds of different performers, both amateur and professional – the awards are not quite as much of a joke as they might first appear.

The awards are taken very seriously, and are subject to voting by audiences and discussion by a panel of independent reviewers.
