The Drama Desk Awards on May 18 and the Drama League Awards on May 16 provided an opportunity for some of the town’s loveliest ladies to show off their sartorial sense. Few looked more stunning than Top Girls‘ star Marisa Tomei.
Not surprisingly, basic black was the order of the day for a number of women, including the always gorgeous Kelli O’Hara of South Pacific.

Sierra Boggess, who wears quite little on stage as the title character of The Little Mermaid, was resplendent in red on Sunday night.

Elizabeth Marvel, who plays Marlene in Top Girls, showed off her strong sense of color.
Xanadu star Kerry Butler doesn’t need to be on roller skates to be fun and flirty.
