for Outstanding Revue The Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Revue 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 category, recognizing the mixed nature of revue productions (as compared to plays or musical productions), was first presented at the 1991 ceremony, as the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Musical Revue/Entertainment, changing to the shorter name in 1992.
