One of Nederlander’s most lucrative business collaborations is with the Walt Disney Co., which started in 1994 when Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” opened at the Palace Theatre.
Nederlander’s stable is bigger than its rivals once its theaters nationwide and in London are added to the mix. The Shubert Organization owns 16 theaters outright, and Jujamcyn Theaters owns five.
The Nederlander Organization is one of three big theater chains on Broadway. Theater icon Andrew Lloyd Webber tweeted: “Farewell Jimmy, truly the end of a great theatrical era.” Kate Shindle, the president of the Actors Equity Association union wrote: “#RIP to a true titan.” He won a dozen Tony Awards as a producer or co-producer - including a Special Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement in 2004 - and has presented operas, ballets, concerts and artists ranging from Rudolf Nureyev to Frank Sinatra to U2.Ĭondolences were quick to arrive.
Nederlander famously rejected anyone who claimed to have a rational way to predict which shows would be hits as opposed to flops.
