2025-2026 Broadway Scorecards
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 Lighting Design. This season, Adam Honoré, Donald Holder, Heather Gilbert and Jack Knowles led the field with credits on three Broadway productions each — the highest total of any Lighting Designer during the 2025–2026 season.
The leading Associate Lighting Designer is Jessica Creager and Kirk Fitzgerald with three Broadway show credits.
The leading Assistant Lighting Designers are Emmanuel Delgado, Natalie Shipley, Paul Vaillancourt each with two Broadway show credits.
Next week we are highlighting Broadway Sound Designers, Associates and Assistants!
Awards:
The 79th Tony Awards will be held on June 7, 2026, at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. The ceremony celebrates excellence in the 2025–26 Broadway season and will air on CBS and stream on Paramount+.
We just added the Tony Award Design Winners from 1947 - 2025 in an easy to read online format.
