MICHAEL STEWART (Book) was still relatively

early in his theatrical career when he had his rst

smash hit in 1960 with Bye Bye Birdie, for which he

won the Tony Award for Best Book. His subsequent

Broadway shows include Carnival! (Drama Critics

Circle Award); Hello, Dolly! (Tony Award, Drama

Critics Circle Award); George M! (with Francine and

John Pascal); Mack & Mabel (Tony nomination);

The Grand Tour; 42nd Street (with Mark Bramble;

Tony Award); and Harrigan and Hart (Tony nomi

nation). He is also the lyricist of Barnum (music by

Coleman, Tony nomination) and I Love My Wife

(Tony nomination). Mr. Stewart died in 1987.

JERRY HERMAN (Music & Lyrics) remains

one of the most iconic and beloved composers in

the American theater. His legendary scores have

spawned such standards as “I Am What I Am,” “The

Best of Times,” “Mame,” “If He Walked into My

Life,” “We Need a Little Christmas” and “Hello,

Dolly!” His rst Broadway musical, Milk and Honey

(1961), ran for 543 performances. He made his

tory in 1964 with Hello, Dolly! (10

Tony Awards,

including Best Musical, a Broadway record held

for 37 years), which was followed by yet another

smash, Mame, in 1966. With Dolly! and Mame still

running, Herman had the rare distinction of hav

ing three Broadway shows playing simultaneously

whe

n Dear World opened in 1969. In 1974, Mack

& Mabel opened (and remains one of his best-loved

scores) and was followed by 1979’s The Grand Tour.

Herman’s most recent Broadway show, La Cage

aux Folles, became another phenomenon, winning

the Tony Award in 1984 for Best Musical. It was

successfully revived in 2004 and 2010, winning the

Tony for Best Revival each time. Two of Herman’s

most cherished songs from Hello, Dolly! are the

emotional highlights of the Disney-Pixar classic

Wall-E, cementing Herman’s place in American

popular culture. His countless awards and honors

include multiple Tony Awards, Grammy Awards,

Olivier Awards, Drama Desk Awards, the Johnny

Mercer Award, the Richard Rodgers Award, the

Oscar Hammerstein Award, the Frederick Loewe

Award, membership in the Songwriters Hall of

Fame, the Theater Hall of Fame and most recently,

The Kennedy Center Honor.

GOWER CHAMPION (Original Director and

Choreographer) is a name synonymous with some

of the greatest musicals in Broadway history. In

addition to Hello, Dolly!, which cemented his repu

tation as a legendary theater artist and garnered him

ony Awards for both Direction and Choreography,

he directed and choreographed Bye Bye Birdie (Tony

Awards for Direction and Choreography), Carnival!

(Tony nomination for Direction), I Do! I Do! (Tony

nomination for Direction), The Happy Time (Tony

for both Direction and Choreography), Sugar (Tony

nominations for Direction and Choreography),

Mack & Mabel (Tony nominations for Direction

and Choreography), and 42nd Street (Tony for

Choreography, Drama Desk Award for Outstanding

Choreography, Tony nomination for Direction). His

rst Broadway credit as choreographer, Lend an Ear,

WHO’S WHO

won him his rst Tony Award for Choreography in

1949. He studied dance from an early age and, at the

age of 15, toured nightclubs with his friend Jeanne

Tyler and later with Marge Belcher, who even

tually became his wife. During the late 1930s and

early 1940s, Champion worked on Broadway as a

solo dancer and choreographer. After serving in the

U.S. Coast Guard during World War II, the team

of Gower and Marge Champion became one of the

most popular attractions on television variety shows,

appearing on “Jack Benny,” “Garry Moore,” “Dinah

Shore,” “The Ed Sullivan Show,” and in their own

series, “The Marge and Gower Champion Show,” in

1957. The pair also appeared in several lm musi

cals with Bing Crosby (Mr. Music, 1950), Kathryn

Grayson and Howard Keel (

Show Boat, 1951; Lovely

to Look At, 1952), Debbie Reynolds (Give a Girl a

Break, 1953), Betty Grable (Three for the Show,

1955), Esther Williams (Jupiter’s Darling, 1955) and

occasionally earned their own top billing (Everything

I Have Is Yours, 1952). Gower Champion died in

1980 on the day that 42nd Street, his last great hit,

opened on Broadway. He was awarded the last of his

eight Tony Awards posthumously.

JERRY ZAKS (Director) was nominated for the

2017 Tony Award for Best Direction of a Musical

for this production. Credits include Meteor Shower,

A Bronx Tale: The Musical, Shows for Days, Sister

Act, The Addams Family, Guys and Dolls, Six

Degrees of Separation, Lend Me a Tenor, The House

of Blue Leaves, The Front Page, A Funny Thing

Happened on the Way to the Forum, Smokey Joe’s

Shop of Horrors, The Man Who Came to Dinner, The

Foreigner, Laughter on the 23rd Floor, Sister Mary

Ignatius…, Beyond Therapy, Baby with the Bath

Water, and The Marriage of Bette and Boo. He has

received four Tony Awards and eight nominations,

and has also received four Drama Desk Awards, two

Outer Critics Circle Awards, and an Obie Award. He
