You can leave the acting awards to the Tonys. Let’s hear it for the guys and girls who made audiences swoon eight times a week during the 2012-2013 season.
Abs So Amazing They Should Get Their Own Playbill Bio: Sebastian Stan in Picnic
Stan spent the first 45 minutes as the badboy heartthrob of this Midwest-set play without a shirt, abs glistening enough for anyone in the American Airlines Theatre – even those seated in the upper balcony – to spot their perfection. Need I say more?

So Sexy I Don't Care She's Singing About Murder: Rebecca Naomi Jones in Murder Ballad
Clad in a see-through shirt and blue bra, Jones serves as the mostly omnipresent narrator of this four person rock musical, which puts the action right in the middle of the crowd. Never has recounting a tale been so captivating as when Jones saunters through the theater, coyly detailing the show's unfolding events. (OK, this one is Off-Broadway, but hopefully it'll land on the Great White Way soon).

Thank You, Casting Gods, For Creating An Ensemble As Physically Wondrous As This: Pippin's Players
The 1970s musical about Charlemagne's directionless son isn't why you go see this revival of "Pippin" – the spectacle created by director Diane Paulus is. At the center is Patina Miller, who commands attention as the Leading Player and uses Fosse-referencing choreography to slink and writhe around the stage. She's joined by a dozen or so scantily-clad contortionists and former circus members in the ensemble, who twist and slide in ways that inspire spontaneous applause.
