Jerome Robbins' Broadway is an anthology comprising musical numbers from earlier shows that were either directed or choreographed by Jerome Robbins. Robbins won his fifth Tony Award for direction of the show.
The musical opened on Broadway on February 26, 1989 at the Imperial Theatre and closed on September 1, 1990 after 633 performances and 55 previews. With an elaborate production and a cast of 62, the show reportedly cost US$8 million to produce, and was expected to recoup about 40 percent from the New York run, according to Bernard B. Jacobs (President of The Shubert Organization). [1]
Directed and choreographed by Jerome Robbins with Grover Dale as Co-Director, it featured Jason Alexander as the narrator, Charlotte d'Amboise, Faith Prince, Debbie Shapiro, and Scott Wise.
