Broadway Salutes is a ceremony co-sponsored by the Broadway League and the Coalition of Broadway Unions and Guilds that celebrates Broadway artists for their long careers on Broadway. Since its inception in 2009, Broadway Salutes has honored more than 5,300 members of the Broadway community, celebrating careers built on artistry, craftsmanship, and dedication often unseen by audiences.

“Behind every production is a vast community of professionals whose expertise and commitment make Broadway possible,” said Laura Penn, Executive Director of Stage Directors and Choreographers Society & Broadway Salutes Committee Co-Chair.  “The theatre workers of Broadway, whatever their role, exemplify the craft and skill necessary to create live theatre – a form that thrills audiences while contributing so much to New York’s economy.  Broadway Salutes is our opportunity to thank those who have given so much of themselves to this art form and this industry.”

At this year’s ceremony, the following Local 802 musicians were honored.
