Drama Desk Award Winners for 2019: Spreading the Love Around
Michael Urie hosted the Drama Desk Awards at Town Hall last night and we’ve got the complete list of winners below. Unlike this Sunday’s Tony Awards, which only honor Broadway productions, the Drama Desk considers all New York City theatre: Broadway, Off-Broadway and Off-Off. That said, many of the big winners were Broadway productions, although no one show dominated. Awards were really spread around!
