Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Music in a Play

Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Music in a Play

The Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Music in a Play is presented by the Drama Desk, a committee of New York City theatre critics, writers, and editors. It honors the composers of incidental music for plays staged on Broadway, off-Broadway, off-off-Broadway, and for legitimate not-for-profit theaters.

It was not until the 26th Annual Drama Desk Awards in 1980 that a specific category for Outstanding Music for a Play was created. The first recipient was Norman L. Berman for Strider. It has been presented only eight times since.
