His Broadway credits include Guys and Dolls (1950), The Golden Apple (1954), Fanny (1954), The Lark (1955), L’il Abner (1956), Destry Rides Again (1959), Wildcat (1960), Sugar (1972), Lorelei (1974), Jerome Robbins’ Broadway (1989), Waiting in the Wings(1999), and If You Ever Leave Me, I’m Going With You (2001). He won three Tony Awards: In 1956 for the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical Pipe Dream, in 1957 for L’il Abner and the Terrence Rattigan comedy The Sleeping Prince, and in 1960 for the flop musical Greenwillow. He is also the holder of an Irene Sharaff Award from Theatre Development Fund.
