#AmericanBroadway# - Director -  Julie Taymor 

Best known for her creative staging of the Broadway hit musical, The Lion King, Julie Taymor is the first woman to win the prestigious Tony Award for directing a musical in addition to a Tony Award for Original Costume Design.  The daughter of Jewish parents from Newton, Massachusetts, she had an early childhood interest in the theater and traveled the world as a teenager studying theater in India and Paris.  After graduating with honors from Oberlin College, she received a Watson Fellowship to study experimental theater, puppetry and visually oriented theater in Japan. While in Indonesia she developed a mask/dance company, and returned to the United States.  In addition to The Lion King, she has directed plays, operas and films.  How does puppetry in Broadway shows change the experience?
