Background

About Isaac Hurwitz

I am a Tony Award-winning creative producer with over two decades of experience leading successful entertainment businesses and producing acclaimed new work. Recent Broadway projects include the Tony-nominated Broadway productions of "Water for Elephants" and "Gutenberg! The Musical!" starring Josh Gad and Andrew Rannells;"Once Upon a Mattress" starring Sutton Foster; and the Tony Award-winning "Maybe Happy Ending." I'm also a producer on the London and touring productions of "Mrs. Doubtfire" and "The Devil Wears Prada," both of which I originally developed as SVP of Twentieth Century Fox's live stage division. At Fox, I oversaw all stage adaptations of the studio’s films, developing new musicals with such world-renowned artists as Elton John, Cyndi Lauper, Lynn Nottage, and Duncan Sheik, and collaborating with leading theaters in the US and internationally. I provided creative supervision for the Broadway adaptations of "Moulin Rouge" and "Anastasia," and produced the box office record-breaking West End production of "All About Eve" directed by Ivo van Hove and starring Gillian Anderson and Lily James. Previously, I co-founded The New York Musical Theatre Festival (NYMF) and led it for a decade, premiering over 350 new musicals — many of which (including the Pulitzer Prize-winning "Next to Normal") garnered further productions on Broadway, Off-Broadway, and around the world.
