As 2026 begins, director Alex Timbers has achieved an unprecedented milestone with four of his productions simultaneously running on Broadway. This includes currently successful shows like "Beetlejuice," "Just in Time," and the Tony Award-winning "Moulin Rouge! The Musical," alongside his newest offering, "All Out: Comedy About Ambition."
Timbers' directorial style is characterized by its ability to create joy-forward experiences that directly engage the audience, often by dismantling the traditional fourth wall. His diverse portfolio spans jukebox musicals, adaptations, and staged readings, all designed to be visceral and entertaining.

With future projects including a "The Princess Bride" musical, Timbers continues to explore innovative theatrical forms. He believes audiences, particularly younger demographics, seek out-of-the-box, genre-bending shows that maximize entertainment and emotional connection, a philosophy he actively pursues in his work.
