Associated Press
NEW YORK - "The History Boys," English playwright Alan Bennett's look at young men trying to get into Oxford or Cambridge and the teachers who inspired them, was named best play Thursday by the New York Drama Critics' Circle.
"The Drowsy Chaperone," a giddy celebration of one fan's favorite 1920s musical, was picked as best musical.
Special awards were given to the current Broadway revival of "Sweeney Todd," in which the performers play all the show's instruments, and to Christine Ebersole for her performance in "Grey Gardens," a musical version of the film documentary about a reclusive mother and daughter who were relatives of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.
No prize was given for best American play.
The Circle has the option of giving a best-foreign or best-American play award, depending on what wins the best-play prize.
Founded in 1935, the Circle is composed of 19 drama critics from daily newspapers, magazines and wire services based in the New York metropolitan area.
