| Drama Desk Awards will be live streamed. I believe on Theatermania. My question- I’m suddenly out of the country and may not be able to watch live. Does anyone remember from years past if the live stream is still accessible after the fact? Meaning - can I watch it a few days later? |

| Interesting that Ashley Park is performing from K-POP, which got much better reviews than Mean Girls. Although I doubt she had much to do with that decision, it doesn’t hurt to remind voters of their work in the better received show. | |

| I suspect you're right. Park, who's a double Drama Desk nominee, probably had no say in which show she got to represent. But it's rare for Broadway shows to perform there; the Drama Desk event is very bare bones, and can come off looking a little rinky-dink. Obviously, performing at the Drama Desks is too late to affect any voting, but ''KPOP'' is hoping for a commercial Off-Broadway transfer in 2019. |
