Awards Nominees & Winners

WATCH: The Drama Desk Awards! – Full List of Winners

Published

on

The Drama Desk Awards happened via livestream for the world to see and we kept you in the know as the show went on. Below yo4u’ll find all the updates on winners. You can also view the livestream of the entire show down below.

Some notable winners included Shuffle Along  and The Color Purple who both racked up several awards throughout the night. Hamilton was not nominated this year due to being ineligible since being nominated for its Off-Broadway run at The Public Theater last year. That cleared the way for some other great shows to take home the Drama Desk.

It truly was a wonderful night with some great highlights including a Memoriam tribute that included Broadway Black favorite Kyle Jean-Baptiste and a speech by playwright Danai Gurrira who won the Sam Norkin for bringing great insight, range, and depth, & being a fresh new voice to American theater.
