  Hal Prince - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hal Prince (born January 30, 1928), full name Harold Smith Prince, is a theatrical producer and director associated with many of the best-known Broadway musical (and less notably, dramatic) productions of the past half-century.
He was born in New York City, and began work in the theatre as an assistant stage manager to legendary theatrical producer and director George Abbott.
Prince won his twentieth Tony Award in 1995 for Best Direction of the musical revival Show Boat, making him the record holder for most Tony Awards won.

 Broadway: The American Musical . Stars Over Broadway . Harold Prince | PBS
"Hal" Prince served his theatrical apprenticeship in the late '40s and early '50s with the esteemed author, director, and producer George Abbott.
For his innovative concepts, the ability to find the exact visual framework for the musical-narrative content, and his role, notably with Stephen Sondheim, in the drastic reshaping of the modern theater musical, Prince has received more Tony Awards than anyone else, including one for his superb staging of the Broadway revival of "Show Boat" (1995).
This was followed by a disappointingly brief run for Prince's revival of the 1974 version of "Candide" (1997) and "Parade" (1998).

Prince’s voice is brought in at regular intervals and, since Prince’s own (out-of-print) book Contradictions ends with his 1974 production of Candide, the current book is particularly valuable for its insights into the subsequent thirty years of Prince’s career.
Prince is a tough visionary who, by his own admission, constantly contradicts himself, but once he has an idea, he rarely backs down.
Prince bemoans the current economic state of Broadway theatre and the paralyzing effect it has on young writers’ ability to be seen and heard in full productions.
