Did you miss last night’s livestream, or just want to revisit the stellar performances from the 2023 Jimmy Award nominees? Playbill’s got you covered with this roundup of each number performed at the awards ceremony at the Minskoff Theatre.

The Jimmy Awards are presented in two acts. In the first act, all 96 nominees (who hail from around the country) perform in some capacity. They are divided into large dance-heavy group numbers and character medleys (where small groups of students each sing a segment as the character they were nominated for). Then eight finalists are selected, who each sing a solo number (check out Playbill's interview with the winners here). Marvel at this year's Jimmy nominees with the dynamic numbers below.

Opening Number

The show opened with a mashup jam-packed with Broadway musicals—some from the 2022-2023 season (like Kimberly Akimbo, Parade, and New York, New York) and some timeless classics, like MJ and Chicago. Try to spot all the musicals that were included!
