Actually, Carol Burnett and Harold Prince did work together. That was twenty years ago, back in 2002, when Prince produced Carol's autobiographical play, "Hollywood Arms," with Linda Lavin and winning a TONY Award for Michele Pawk, in a supporting role, as a character based on Carol's tragic mother. So, the two have a connection, girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I support Carol in wanting to name a theater after Harold Prince, though I am not sure it is the Majestic that should be the one. The reasoning behind this is, with "The Phantom Of The Opera" closing, after 35(!!!!) years, this will be Prince's last imprint on the Broadway stage. I mean, if it turns out to be the Majestic Theatre, that is fine with me, but something more within the theater district, bigger, and more prestigious, should be the venue. After all, darlings, we are talking about Harold Prince, who did more for the theater probably in our lifetimes than anyone else.
How I miss Hal Prince. Not just his output, but meeting and working with him. I would have loved both.
Get out there, girls, and all you Theatre Queens, and support Carol's mission on behalf of Harold Prince.
Before that parade passes us all by, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He will Never be forgotten, not if We have anything to do with it
