directing 2 shows in 1 season

I can only recall one other time that a director had two or more shows open on Broadway in the same season. The current season Susan Stroman had Big Fish and Bullets. Perhaps it would have been wiser to concentrate on one show a season and maybe the shows would have ended up being better. Hal Prince had three shows in one season, they all opened within a four month period. They were Roza, a revival of Cabaret, and Phantom. The first two did not fair too well and Phantom is - well Phantom. Can anyone recall any other examples? Any thoughts on this?

Jeff Calhoun had also directed both Bonnie & Clyde and Newsies in the same season.

Also, Bob Fosse directed Big Deal and the revival of Sweet Charity with Debbie Allen

Susan Stroman did not direct or choreograph the revival of Kiss Me Kate. That was Michael Blakemore and Kathleen Marshall. However, I think Contact opened the same year as The Music Man.

Sorry, that's what I meant--Music Man and Contact. And yes, Blakemore won both Tonys that year for Kiss Me Kate and Copenhagen.

Kenny Leon is doing Raisin in the Sun and Holler if Ya Hear Me back to back as well.

Alex Timbers: Rocky and Here Lies Love. (Nothing in the subject line said, "Broadway" shows.)

So both shows Joe Mantello directed won in 2004? Wicked and Assassins? Incredible.
