Who are your favorite REAL broadway producers?

Bialystock and Bloom

I want to add Scott Rudin to my list but I still have really bitter feelings about Shuffle Along's closing. Hal Prince from yesteryears. The Public counts as a producer, right? They've consistently been giving us good and daring shows for a long time.

The late Alexander H. Cohen, for producing a little something called DEAR WORLD; which I saw as a thirteen year old in January 1969, and just loved.

Rudin but the whole Shuffle along thing still annoys me but I think he is running his shows the right way. I also have genuine respect for Stacey Mindich, The Public, Barbara Whitman and Jordan Roth. oh and the Weissler's

Scott Rudin

Fran & Barry Weissler

Harold Prince

David Merrick

"he was the man behind INDECENT"

Considering that two women were the laboring oar in getting it produced, that strikes me as a particularly ill-fitting description.

^there are two producers a head of Cody and both are women.... Daryl Roth and Elizabeth McCann and it was Daryl who took down the closing notice

Ado Annie D'Ysquith said: "I had not heard of Ms. McCann or Daryl's involvement in extending the show. Very well, I plead ignorance."

@Ado I was not nitpicking at all, but the show never would have happened had it not been for Daryl Roth and Liz McCann, and it would have closed unceremoniously had it not been for Roth's monumental decision to keep it running. You twice mentioned men, and while I don't know the ins and outs of The Band's Visit, I do know that in this male dominated world, these two women, among others, have made a major mark, over extraordinary careers. I think that needs to be celebrated, and I hope you agree.

I do indeed, Hogan.

I think David Merrick was pretty interesting...enough so that his unauthorized biography was titled, David Merrick: The Abominable Showman.
