ACCA Awards

It was "96,000" rounds of applause, peals of laughter and heartfelt kudos for the chorus of In The Heights when an overflow crowd gathered in the Equity Council Room on September 23rd for the Second Annual Advisory Committee on Chorus Affairs (ACCA) Award for Outstanding Broadway Chorus.

After 16 years of outstanding and dedicated service to AEA's Advisory Committee on Chorus Affairs (ACCA), Louise Foisy received the first ACCA Award for Outstanding Contribution to Chorus. This newly instated award had not previously been announced and was a surprise and was given after Legally Blonde won the first ACCA Award for Outstanding Broadway Chorus on October 23rd at Equity's headquarters in New York City.

Actors' Equity Association's Advisory Committee on Chorus Affairs (ACCA) has chosen the winner of the new ACCA Award for Outstanding Broadway Chorus in the 2006-2007 season: LEGALLY BLONDE THE MUSICAL. This is the first industry award of its type to honor the distinctive talents and contributions made by the chorus. The award ceremony will be held at the October 23rd ACCA meeting at Equity's headquarters in New York City.
