For forty years, Ted Chapin ran the Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization. Under his auspices, eight Broadway revivals won the Tony Award: On Your Toes, Carousel, Show Boat, Annie Get Your Gun, South Pacific, Oklahoma!, and The King and I – twice! – and successful television productions of The Sound of Music (Live) and a multi-racial Cinderella were presented. His Broadway career began as assistant director on The Sunshine Boys, Molly, and The Unknown Soldier and His Wife. He was producer of the Musical Theater Lab and two acclaimed seasons of Lyrics & Lyricists at 92Y. His book Everything Was Possible – The Birth of the Musical ‘Follies’, based on his experience as production assistant on the Sondheim musical, won an ASCAP/Deems Taylor Award when it first published by Alfred A. Knopf. A new revised edition is being published this summer by Applause Books. He continues as a consultant to the Irving Berlin estate.
