According to the New York Times, Broadway producing team Kevin McCollum and Jeffrey Seller have decided to end their partnership in order to produce independently. The duo, which has been working together for 21 years, are the founders of The Producing Office, established in 1994. They described their decision as a 'natural evolution.'

Seller told NYT: 'At what point in my life do I want to be the chief executive and not the co-chief executive? With both of us firmly in the middle of our careers, it was time to ask the question. I think the answer for both of us was that, when I decide to fall in love, I want to do it solo. I want to hold the steering wheel.'

McCollum added, 'Jeffrey is my brother. We’ll still work together when one of us has a project that the other still wants to be a part of.'
