Michael Yeargan, The Light in the Piazza
Best Scenic Design of a Musical
Oh my gosh, thank you so much, this place is so big. I can't thank the whole collaborative group of The Light in the Piazza enough for this amazing, amazing, experience. It's been a labor of love from the first day we started working on it. I never in my life expected to be here tonight, and I am deeply grateful to Lincoln Center Theater for giving us the opportunity to do what we did in the way that we really wanted to do it. And to the phenomenal cast, this phenomenal crew at Lincoln Center Theater that put it together, Scenic Technologies who built it, and the wonderful painters at Joe Forbes who painted it. My deepest thanks to Mikiko Suzuki, my assistant; and my partner, my associate, Larry King, who has been my toughest critic all the way through the whole experience. Thank you so much.
