The gorgeous Broadway production of The Nance, as well as the off-Broadway shows Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812, The Flick and Here Lies Love received 2013 Henry Hewes Design Awards. These four productions beat out 84 other nominees for the prestigious design awards in set, costume, lighting and notable effects.

The Henry Hewes Design Award for Best Scenic Design went to Mimi Lien for Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812, Best Costume Design went to Tony winner Ann Roth for The Nance, Best Lighting Design went to Jane Cox for The Flick and Notable Effects in Sound Design went to Peter Nigrini for Here Lies Love. The winners will be recognized in a ceremony on October 21.

The awards, which honor outstanding design in New York City theater, were founded back in 1965 and were originally called the Maharam Awards. Later they were renamed the American Theatre Wing Design Awards, and in 1999 they became the Henry Hewes, named for the noted critic who created the awards and served as a board member for the Wing until his death in 2006.
