for Outstanding Revival The Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Revival of a Play is an annual award presented by Drama Desk in recognition of achievements in the theatre across collective Broadway, off-Broadway and off-off-Broadway productions in New York City. The award was first presented at the 1993 ceremony, after Drama Desk retired the Outstanding Revival (1955–1992), a singular award covering achievement by either a play or a musical production. The accompanying category Revival of a Musical was also created, though it was first presented at the 1994 ceremony.
