NEW YORK—There’s no denying Hal Prince is a titanic force in the theatrical industry. He is a producer and director with over six decades of experience and a record-breaking 21 Tony Awards to his credit.

That Prince directed the work himself and, one assumes, had significant input into it, makes it even more confounding.
