By introducing innovative, always imaginative staging and lighting techniques; by hiring the foremost composers, lyricists, costumers, and set designers; and by bringing to the stage the best actors, singers, and comedians - as well as the most beautiful showgirls and chorus girls - he permanently transformed musical theater.
