Two-time Olivier Award nominee Michael Xavier has joined the cast of the Broadway premiere of Prince of Broadway, a musical celebration that highlights the legendary, six-decade career of director and producer Harold Prince.

The British actor, who is currently making his Broadway debut alongside Glenn Close in Sunset Boulevard, joins previously announced principal cast members Chuck Cooper, Tony nominees Emily Skinner, Tony Yazbeck, Nancy Opel, Brandon Uranowitz, Janet Dacal, Bryonha Marie Parham, and Kaley Ann Voorhees.

“I’m so delighted to be working with Hal Prince (the King of musical theatre direction) after years of admiring his wonderful work in this industry,” Xavier told Playbill. “To get the chance to put my own stamp on so many iconic characters within the history of musical theatre is truly an honor. Also, working with such a fabulous creative team including Susan Stroman and Jason Robert Brown is bound to be both exciting and fulfilling.”

Prince of Broadway will debut on Broadway in a production from Manhattan Theatre Club and Gorgeous Entertainment. Previews will start August 3 prior to an August 24 opening night at MTC’s Samuel J. Friedman Theatre.

Xavier’s West End credits include Olivier-nominated performances in Love Story and Into The Woods. His other theatre credits include Show Boat, The Phantom of the Opera, Assassins, The Pajama Game, and My Fair Lady.
