Watch Tina Landau, Bartlett Sher, Michael Arden, Casey Nicholaw, and David Cromer discuss their work, the misconceptions around what a director of a musical does, and what they hope audiences glean from their Broadway productions.

Once on this island deserves the tony for best direction.
Thank you.

Moritz Stiefel I started throwing popcorn at my tv screen while yelling when he didn’t win

[@Eschetic1]

I absolutely agree but when you run into a sweep like A CHORUS LINE had in ''76 (Sondheim's best score, PACIFIC OVERTURES, lost that year), it happens. Arden WILL win sooner or later. He's that good.

After seeing this My Fair Lady I won't be seeing anything directed by Bartlett Sher again. Thank God I am old enough to have seen what the original collaborators intended.

Richard Mayora What do you mean? I haven't seen either, I've obviously heard of the differences, so I'm just curious.
