Please note this production has been postponed indefinitely.
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 review at Samuel J Friedman Theatre, New York – ‘generous and good-hearted’
6 / 10
It's inevitably rushed and bitty as it proffers short extracts from such all-time classics as Fiddler on the Roof, Cabaret, She Loves Me, Follies, Sweeney Todd and Evita, which Prince helped originate. Of course those shows are revived often enough - all of them currently (or recently) in London, Chichester or New York. Prince's production of The Phantom of the Opera is playing in full just three blocks away, so the extract seems entirely superfluous, however grandly West End actor Michael Xavier renders The Music of the Night.
‘Prince of Broadway’ salutes theater legend Harold Prince: review
7 / 10
In his various guises, Prince alludes to luck, success and failure, unusual projects and finally to just 'do the work.' It's not a deep dive into the mind of a master - more like, Shallow Hal. If you're okay with that and want to luxuriate in moments from some wonderful shows, you'll be entertained by the cast. Chuck Cooper, Janet Dacal, Bryonha Marie Parham, Brandon Uranowitz, Kaley Ann Voorhees and Michael Xavier all get time to shine and take advantage of that to varying degrees.
