INTO THE WOODS, SWEENEY TODD, and More Nominated For 2023 Hewes Design Awards
www.broadwayworld.com: The Henry Hewes Design Awards Committee has announced the 2023 Henry Hewes Design Awards Honorees who will be recognized at the 59th annual ceremony on October 23 in New York.
I spent a lot of time with this article. I went through all the award winners and a decent number of the nominations. I wanted to see what kinds of art are being recognized. It is really interesting to see what is considered good design because it varies so much over time. I loved looking at the similarities between all the designs that were nominated. It helps me to see what types of designs are appreciated in today’s world.I also really love that this award is solely for designers. So often the design awards are overshadowed by actors, as that’s what people care about. Design awards are announced first at the Oscars, Tonys, and other big award shows. It feels as though the designers are just there to build up anticipation for the “big” awards. For this award show to be only designers allows for the design awards to be the “big” awards, which is something we don’t see often.
