Special Tony Award for Abe Jacob
Special Tony Awards are presented to outstanding productions, artists and organizations who do not fall into any of the competitive categories. This year a Special Tony Award will be presented to Sound Designer Abe Jacob.
“We are honored to present this Special Tony Award,” said Jason Laks, Interim President of The Broadway League. “Abe Jacob is a true pioneer of theater sound design who created the modern approach to theatrical sound design and has contributed his unique and irreplaceable sound to each of his productions for decades. We salute this esteemed member of our community as we award him with this special distinction.”
The incredible career of Abe Jacob has spanned over six decades. He started in Rock and Roll at McCune Sound in San Francisco and went on to create concert sound for many legendary artists such as Jimi Hendrix; The Mamas and the Papas; Peter, Paul and Mary; and The Monterey Pop Festival. He then brought that rock sensibility to Broadway audiences with the original production of Hair. Abe’s remarkable achievements in theater sound design virtually brought the field into existence. His credits include Broadway, opera, touring and worldwide theatrical productions. Abe’s extraordinary career was acknowledged with the USITT Award in 2008. In 2022, he was inducted into The Theater Hall of Fame. Abe also teaches sound design master classes and has mentored several generations of talented sound designers.
