The award was thought to be a close call between Suffs, a musical about the musical based on the American women’s suffrage movement, and Hell’s Kitchen, a musical loosely based on Alicia Keys’ early life and music.

Voltron Global, The Company That Purchased Tyler Perry’s Original Atlanta Studio, Launches Production Outfit
By Zac Ntim, June 21, 2023 8:11am
EXCLUSIVE: Voltron Global, the holding company that purchased Tyler Perry’s first expansive Atlanta studio lot, is moving into the content game with a full-service film and TV production company.
The production outfit will be known as Voltron Global Productions. The company said today it will be the home to multi-genre and cross-platform productions guided by Voltron Global CEO Steven Greenberg. The company will self-finance, package, and produce projects of all sizes from Pangaea Studios, the 50-acre film and television lot owned by Tyler Perry until 2018. The lot was previously known as Areu Studios.
Pangaea is currently Atlanta’s second-largest movie and TV studio, boasting a residential backlot, a full post-production facility, and six sound stages complete with next-generation LED tiles. Voltron has said it will develop, finance, and produce anywhere from three to six projects a year, with a mandate to serve as a supplier of mainstream projects for studios as well as major streamers.
“We’re thrilled to unveil Voltron Global Productions, a full-service enterprise where we can unleash compelling stories for streaming, TV, and theatrical distribution, all on a grand scale,” said Greenberg.
