1st MyFABE Theater Awards: Best Lighting

The following plays and musicals used lighting very well to depict a scene.  In 39 Steps, the eerie mood was captured perfectly.  The bright lights of New York lighted up In The Heights.  The stormy seas was captured perfectly in Mga Lobo Tulad Ng Buwan.  The different shades of madness were magnified in Next to Normal, while the mad dance and song sequences of Zsa Zsa Zaturnnah was further enhanced by the bright twinkling lights onstage.
