David Merrick

David Merrick (November 27, 1911 - April 25, 2000) was an American theatrical producer and director, associated with both musicals and dramas, brilliant successes and embarrassing flops. Although he was nicknamed "The Indomitable Showman", an unauthorized biography by Howard Kissel was less flatteringly titled David Merrick: The Abominable Showman (ISBN 1557833613).
