On August 3, legendary director-producer Harold Prince will unveil his latest project: Prince of Broadway, a musical celebration of his career that spans more than six decades of theatre history.
In the video above, take a sneak peek into the first day of rehearsals for the show, which Prince says he sees as a celebration of “our collective love affair with the theatre.”

Performances will begin August 3 at Manhattan Theatre Club's Samuel J. Friedman Theatre, where it will officially open August 24.
The cast features Michael Xavier, Chuck Cooper, Karen Ziemba, Emily Skinner, Tony Yazbeck, Brandon Uranowitz, Janet Dacal, Bryonha Marie Parham, and Kaley Ann Voorhees.
