Hal Prince RIP

Legendary Broadway director Hal Prince has died at the age of 91. You might say he didn't just write a chapter but several chapters in the history of the Great White Way.

What shows did he direct? 

Caberet, Company, Follies, Sweeney Todd, Evita, Fiddler on the Roof, and, oh yes, The Phantom of the Opera -- amongst many others. 

If he had only directed one or two of those show he'd be fondly remembered but a run like that is probably unmatched in the history of musical theater. Hal Prince made Broadway, this city, and our culture a richer place. What a legacy.
