Foto: Joan Marcus National Theatres oppsetning av The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night Time ble tildelt seks Drama Desk Awards, inkludert Beste Skuespill, Beste Mannlige Skuespiller i et skuespill og Beste Regi, bare slått av Hamilton – den nye musikalen av Lin-Manuel Miranda som vant syv priser. Dette er første gang siden 1983 (da med Little Shop Of Horrors) at en Off-Broadway-forestilling har slått sine Broadway-konkurrenter. Helen Mirren ble kåret til Beste Kvinnelige Skuespiller i et skuespill for sin innsats i The Audience. Jim Dales enmannsshow Just Jim Dale, som nå spilles i London, vant prisen for Beste Revy.

Drama Desk Awards deles ut årlig i en rekke kategorier, og er den eneste store New York-prisen der produksjoner på Broadway, Off-Broadway og Off-Off Broadway konkurrerer mot hverandre i samme kategori. Organisasjonen ble stiftet i 1949 av en gruppe teaterkritikere, redaktører og journalister fra New York, med mål om å informere og engasjere publikum i viktige teaterfaglige spørsmål.
