For those who don't follow broadway, the hottest director of the moment is Jamie Lloyd. He's a British guy who reinterprets musicals and plays in a very minimalist style. He recently did a production of Sunset Boulevard starring Nicole Scherzinger that got all sorts of acclaim and won a ton of awards at the recent Tonys.

Getting the lead role in the next big Jamie Lloyd project is a dream for any actor that cares about acting. It's like getting the lead in a Scorsese or Tarantino flick, or any other director who was the golden boy of the industry for some time.
