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 Sound Design. This season, Kai Harada, and Peter Hylenski, led the field with credits on three Broadway productions each — the highest total of any sound designer during the 2025–2026 season.

The leading Associate Sound Designer is Charles Coes with three Broadway show credits.

The leading Assistant Sound Designer is Tauheedah “Tate” Abdullah with two Broadway show credits.

Next week we are highlighting Broadway Hair, Wig and Makeup Designers, Associates and Assistants!
