| | Michael Bennett Information |
 | | Michael Bennett (April 8, 1943 - July 2, 1987) was an American musical theater director, choreographer, and dancer. |
 | | Bennett made his debut as the choreographer for A Joyful Noise (1966), which lasted only twelve performances, followed in 1967 by another failure, Henry, Sweet Henry (based on the Peter Sellers film The World of Henry Orient). |
 | | Bennett's next musical was the unfortunately unsuccessful Ballroom (1978) starring Dorothy Loudon, but he found himself at the top again with Dreamgirls (1981), which revolved around an African-American singing girl group that strongly suggested the Supremes. |
