Peter Howard, Broadway Music Director, Dies at 80
PlayBill (Free subscription) | 04/21/2008
In later years, Mr. Howard toured with a show called Peter Howard's Broadway. The show was recorded, and, in a review of the album, Playbill.com columnist Steven Suskin tried to encapsulate Mr. Howard's amorphous profession. "What does a dance arranger do, you might ask? Arrange the dances, I suppose is the short answer. Howard tells us, on Peter Howard's Broadway, how the choreographer of one of his...
