Scenic designer David Korins created the worlds for smash hits like The Pee-wee Herman Show, Passing Strange, and the Tony-winning Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike. He won an Emmy Award for his work on Grease Live!. Now, David nabbed back-to-back Tony Award nominations for his work on 2016's Hamilton and this season's epic leading lady showcase War Paint

War Paint is the third new musical David designed this season. He also designed the Tony Award nominated Best Musical Dear Evan Hansen and the beautiful and moving Bandstand.

An avid and terrific Instagrammer himself, David brought the BroadwayBox Instagram along with him on May 3 for the 2017 Tony Award press junket. Scroll on to get a glimpse of his special morning.

Good morning. Fueling up with my morning coffee to get ready for this take over. Thought I would use my emoticon cup to get all digital for you before we go over to the #Tonys press junket!
