In total, Prince produced 33 Broadway shows and directed 20. With 21 Tony Awards, he is the most Tony-winning individual in history, yet his contributions to Broadway and the theatrical landscape at large are immeasurable. Prince remains represented on Broadway with Phantom, the longest-running production ever on Broadway. In addition, Prince frequently worked with composer Stephen Sondheim, collaborating on a string of shows through the 1970s including Company, Follies, A Little Night Music, Pacific Overtures, and Sweeney Todd.
