Hollywood stars do stints on Broadway to bolster their acting credibility, and the wall between theater and cinema is not nearly as rigid as it once was. Craig Zadan certainly had something to do with that. This producer with deep roots in the New York theater scene was responsible for the popularity of the movie musical that was rekindled in the 1980s and garnered healthy box offices well into the next century.
