For the first time, Broadway productions will be included in the 2025 Makeup Artists and Hair Stylists Guild Awards (MUAHS). The MUAHS represents achievement in hair and makeup design in film, television, commercials and theater. The Guild’s Local 706 is the union representing hair and makeup artisans in California under the International Alliance of Theatre Employees (IATSE). The New York City chapter is Local 798.
Historically, Theatre has been recognized with Best Makeup and Best Hairstyling in a Theatre Production (Live Stage), but this category has been reimagined to honor the main category of Best Makeup and Hairstyling in a Broadway or International Live Theatre Production. Both Makeup and Hair will be considered jointly in one category, instead of separate awards for each discipline. Additionally, there will be a category for Best Makeup and Best Hairstyling in a California Regional Live Theatre Production.
To be eligible, works must have been published during the 2024 calendar year. Works must submit a video clip for consideration. The deadline for submissions to be eligible is November 1st. Nominees in the 23 competitive categories will be announced on December 10th. More information on eligibility and voting rules can be found here.
The 12th annual MUAHS Awards Ceremony will be held on February 15, 2025 at the Fairmont Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles.
