Won the Tony Award for Best Direction of a Play twice in five years — for The House of Blue Leaves (1986) and Lend Me a Tenor (1989) — then added a third for Six Degrees of Separation (1991) before winning again the following year for directing the musical Guys and Dolls, a run across both major directing categories that few Broadway directors have matched.
