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
'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.'
Harold Prince, a Broadway master, deserves a better tribute show than this
6 / 10
The Manhattan Theatre Club production, for which Susan Stroman is listed as choreographer and co-director, feels as if it were slapped together for the entertainment portion of a benefit dinner. The task of reciting the wooden commentary between songs is shared by the entire cast, each of whom reminisces as if he or she were Prince, with each sporting the eyeglasses eternally perched on the director's forehead. It's an affectionate touch, but like so much that transpires on this lackluster occasion, only minorly evocative of the great man himself.
