TV: Step Into the World of Hal Prince at New Exhibit at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts
by Nicole Rosky
- Sep 21, 2019

Prince's impact on Broadway stemmed from his reinvention of musical theatre from the script- and score-based model to a more visual, almost cinematic art form in which the director is auteur.
