Celebrating the most influential and successful career in the American theater of the past 60 years, PRINCE OF BROADWAY will look at the circumstances and fortune, both good and bad, that led to Hal Prince creating some of the most enduring and beloved theater of all time, from 1954's The Pajama Game to The Phantom of the Opera, the longest-running show in Broadway history.
PRINCE OF BROADWAY will feature words and music from the shows that have earned Hal Prince a record 21 Tony Awards.
PRINCE OF BROADWAY will be directed by Mr. Prince with co-direction and choreography by Susan Stroman (The Producers, Contact, Crazy for You). David Thompson (The Scottsboro Boys, Chicago [adaptation]) is writing the book and Jason Robert Brown (The Last Five Years, Parade) is writing vocal and dance arrangements.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Prince of Broadway
What’s Missing From ‘Prince of Broadway’? Harold Prince Himself
6 / 10
When they are not singing, the nine performers appear as Prince himself with glancing stories and homilies from his illustrious career, glasses perched atop their foreheads. But the contents of these narrative interjections is scant at best. We learn that musicals are tough to mount, that it's surprising when critical flops turn out to be commercial successes, and vice versa too. But there is no detail of the tough times, no indiscreet back-stage talk, and no penetrating examination of life, character, motives and desires of Prince himself, who has won a record-breaking 21 Tony Awards. Prince of Broadway is not enough about the Prince of Broadway.
'Prince of Broadway' is a greatest hits tribute to its creator: review
8 / 10
As greatest hits compilations go, the new Broadway revue 'Prince of Broadway' is pretty much everything you could ask for: shiny, handsomely packaged, and containing all of your favorites. For two-and-a-half hours, nine tremendously gifted Broadway veterans guide us through the highlights of the career of 21-time Tony Award winner Harold Prince, the producer and director known for his work on such disparate shows as 'Fiddler on the Roof,' 'Sweeney Todd,' and 'The Phantom of the Opera.'
