Broadway Director Albert Marre Dead At 87

“[He] directed or staged more than two-dozen Broadway shows during his more than 50 years in theater, among them the musicals Kismet and Milk and Honey. But it was Man of La Mancha … that brought him his greatest acclaim” – he won a Tony for the original Broadway production in 1965 and directed three Broadway revivals and countless regional and overseas productions.
