Prince, Faith

The Oxford Companion to American Theatre | 2004 | | © The Oxford Companion to American Theatre 2004, originally published by Oxford University Press 2004. (Hide copyright information) Copyright

Prince, Faith (b. 1957?), actress and singer. The wide‐eyed, demonstrative performer with a powerful Broadway belt excels at smart dumb blondes (even though her hair is red). She was born in Augusta, Georgia, and educated at the University of Cincinnati, where she studied voice before performing in musicals in regional theatre. Prince made her New York debut Off Broadway in 1981 and received wide recognition eight years later for her various characters in Jerome Robbins' Broadway (1989). Her funny, touching Miss Adelaide in the 1992 revival of Guys and Dolls made her a Broadway star, and she has also triumphed in leading roles in revivals of The King and I (1997), Little Me (1998), and Bells Are Ringing (2001).

Engel, Lehman

The Oxford Companion to American Theatre | 2004 | | © The Oxford Companion to American Theatre 2004, originally published by Oxford University Press 2004. (Hide copyright information) Copyright

Engel, Lehman (1910–82), composer, conductor, and author. He was born in Mississippi and studied at the University of Cincinnati, the Juilliard School of Music, and with Roger Sessions before writing incidental music for a 1934 production of Within the Gates. Engel later composed background music for several other shows as well as creating the score for A Hero Is Born (1937). He was better known, however, as a conductor. Beginning with The Cradle Will Rock (1937), he conducted the orchestras for such musicals as Call Me Mister (1946), Wonderful Town (1953), Fanny (1954), Li'l Abner (1956), Jamaica (1957), Take Me Along (1959), Do Re Mi (1960), and I Can Get It for You Wholesale (1962). But he was also a serious student of musical theatre, teaching both at the American Musical and Dramatic Theatre Academy and at New York University. Among his books are Musical Shows: Planning and Producing (1957), The American Musical Theatre (1967), Words with Music (1972), and an autobiography, This Bright Day (1974).
