The 16th
Annual MAC (Manhattan Association of Cabarets and Clubs) Awards ceremony
was held on Monday, April 1st, 2002 at Town Hall (123 West 44th Street),
beginning at 7:30 PM (doors open at 7:00). Here
are the results of the CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE MEMBERS ONLY STRAW POLL
for the 2002 MAC AWARDS.
Please read the following paragraphs carefully!
Please remember
that this poll is for entertainment purposes only, and results may
not be used in any form of advertising, promotion or other use. The
results are the property of CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE and may not be
forwarded, distributed to or displayed on any other website, message
board, chat board or in print media. It is intended for the use of
readers and members of CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE exclusively. It will
be posted on the CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE website (http://www.svhamstra.com/)
and you can refer non-members there - and in that way assist out banner
advertisers in reaching a greater audience.
Since the
CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE membership list contains many non-MAC (Manhattan
Association of Cabarets & Clubs) members, this straw poll does not
claim to be an accurate predictor of the actual 2002 MAC AWARD winners
which will be announced on Monday, April 1st at THE TOWN HALL (123
West 43rd Street, NYC - http://www.the-townhall-nyc.org/).
Nominees chosen as winners in this poll should not assume that they
are MAC Award Winners - and the same caveat holds for those not chosen
by the CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE members.
Since not
every straw poll voter marked names in all categories, we will list
the percentage of the total votes cast in each category garnered by
each winning nominee. If there was a difference of less than 2%, we
have declared a statistical tie. A percentage of less than 39% is
not necessarily enough to accurately rely on in assuming an accurate
winner.
