Broadway legend Hal Prince has passed away at 91. Known for his work on Cabaret, The Phantom of the Opera, and more, the Tony winner left behind an incredible legacy. Revisit his 2015 V.F. interview:
Musical revues featuring the work of a single composer or choreographer are Broadway favorites, but who would ever want to see a revue focused on the career of a producer-director? Oh, wait: there is a producer-director whose remarkable track record over six decades would make for exhilarating theater.
Aided by co-director and choreographer Susan Stroman, Prince has devised a show with the full backstage in view, so even when bits of scenery slip in from the wings or from above, “you always know you are in the theater.” And in this case the theater is in Tokyo, whereopened in late October for a limited run. Japan is a bit farther from Broadway than the classic tryout town of New Haven, but the show’s producers still have Times Square in mind as its final destination.
You would think that that should be enough to keep any producer-director busy, but then you don’t know this producer-director. In June, Prince will directbased on the 2007 film about an Egyptian police band’s hapless but ultimately magical trip to an Israeli village. Prince and his wife saw the movie at their local cinema and loved it, so it was serendipitous when he was asked if he would like to work with composer David Yazbek on an adaptation for New York’s Atlantic Theater.
