"I am much more interested in having an experience in the theater, which is unlike the experience I'm having on the street."
-- Harold Prince, director
The recent success and popularity of Mel Brooks' musical "The Producers" has helped raise the profile, among the general public, of the Broadway producer. But the producer is just one member of the team of people involved in creating a show. While the producer provides the financial backing, the creative vision of the show is guided by the director, with the aid of the choreographer, who creates the dance numbers. But since the 1950s, more choreographers have taken on the role of director as well. Learn more about these individuals who help shape the musical from behind the scenes.
