Scenic designer David Korins made his Broadway debut 20 years ago with 2006’s “Bridge & Tunnel.” Since then, Korins has conceived the sets for 29 more shows. He’s earned Tony Award nominations for his scenic designs for “Hamilton,” “War Paint,” “Beetlejuice,” “Hear Lies Love” and now “Dog Day Afternoon.”
Here, Korins describes the engineering behind “Dog Day”’s giant set, the resourcefulness in crafting the 1970s era and more.
“Dog Day Afternoon” is nominated for three Tony Awards.
