Harold Prince: A Director's Journey » (REVISED)

"The new material in this second updated edition of Harold Prince, covering the decade of the 90s, has a happy beginning as Kiss of the Spider Woman, once given up for dead, is so successfully resurrected that it goes on to win the 1993 Tony award for Best Musical. It is followed by Prince's joyously welcomed re-creation of Show Boat, also a Tony winner as Best Musical Revival in 1995. In the years since then, Prince has had only one show on Broadway, the dark and demanding Parade, which won the Drama Critics Circle award for Best Musical in 1999. And as this book ends, Hal Prince talks enthusiastically of various productions in the planning stage, making clear that the end of his remarkable saga is nowhere in sight."--BOOK JACKET.
