LEGEND: Susan Stroman

She's worked in just about every area of entertainment - stage, screen, television.  She's worked with entertainment legends like Mel Brooks, Stephen Sondheim, Harold Prince, Kander and Ebb.  She directs, choreographs, conceives shows and she even started as a performer!  She's a 13 time Tony nominee and 5 time Tony winner.  This season, she'll have four more cracks at Tony nominations and wins, too, with her direction and choreography of both Big Fish and Bullets Over Broadway.  Her endlessly creative dance moves and stunning directorial concepts make even her "flops" theatrical classics.  She is living Broadway legend Susan Stroman.
