The Making of a Broadway Show
The Creative Team is an essential element of any Broadway show. Consisting of the director, choreographer, musical director, and designers, the Creative Team is responsible for bringing the vision of the show to life. During the early stages of production, the Creative Team works closely with the writer and composer to develop the show's concept and aesthetic.
The director is the head of the Creative Team and responsible for overseeing the entire production. They work with the choreographer to create the dance sequences and with the musical director to ensure the songs are performed correctly. The director also works with the set, costume, lighting, and sound designers to create a cohesive look and feel for the show.
The choreographer is responsible for creating the dance numbers and movement for the show. They work with the director to ensure that the choreography complements the story and characters.
The musical director works with the composer and performers to ensure that the music is performed correctly and that the performers are in sync with the orchestra.
The designers are responsible for creating the visual elements of the show. The set designer creates the set and backdrops, the costume designer creates the costumes, and the lighting and sound designers create the lighting and sound effects to enhance the performance. The designers work closely with the director to ensure that their designs fit the overall vision of the show.
Examples of successful Creative Teams include the team behind Hamilton, which consisted of director Thomas Kail, choreographer Andy Blankenbuehler, musical director Alex Lacamoire, and set designer David Korins. The team behind The Lion King included director Julie Taymor, choreographer Garth Fagan, musical director Lebo M, and costume designer Julie Taymor.
