We’re excited to launch our new Broadway Scorecards series for the 2025–2026 season. These scorecards track the Designers, Associates, and Assistants working across Broadway productions — highlighting the creative professionals behind this season’s shows and the productions they helped bring to life.

Each week, we’ll spotlight a different design discipline and recognize the artists whose work shaped the Broadway season.

In today’s newsletter, the focus is Costume Design. This season, Linda Cho led the field with credits on three Broadway productions each — the highest total of any costume designer during the 2025–2026 season.

The leading Associate Costume Designer is Patrick Bevilacqua with three Broadway show credits.

The leading Assistant Costume Designers are David Hyman, Amanda Jenks and Michael O’Herron each with two Broadway show credits.

We also are spotlighting the Costume Shops that create the costumes for Broadway Shows. This season Eric Winterling, CEGO Custom Shirtmaker, and Giliberto Designs each had ten Broadway show credits.

Next week we are highlighting Broadway Lighting Designers, Associates and Assistants!

Winners have been announced for the 70th Annual Drama Desk Awards, the theater award honoring excellence across all of New York City’s theatrical landscape.

Productions deemed not eligible, either because they were considered in their entirety in prior seasons or because they did not invite awards consideration, include All Out: Comedy About Ambition, Beetlejuice, Creditors, Father Anonymous, Mamma Mia!, Pen Pals, Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Classes, Slam Frank, What Happened Was…, and What We Did Before Our Moth Days.
