from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
MTI was founded in 1952 by American composer and lyricist Frank Loesser and orchestrator Don Walker.[1] Along with the licensing rights to Loesser's works, the firm licenses production rights of numerous Broadway, Off-Broadway, and West End musicals, including many hit shows.[2] CBS acquired MTI in 1976.[3] After SBK acquired CBS' music publishing in 1986, MTI was spun off as a separate company to a group led by Nicholas Firth. A group led by Freddie Gershon acquired MTI in 1989.[4] Cameron Mackintosh became a partner in 1990 and majority owner in 2015.

Albert Hirschfeld
(June 21, 1903 – January 20, 2003) was an American caricaturist best known for his black and white portraits of celebrities and Broadway stars.
Hirschfeld started young and continued drawing to the end of his life, thus chronicling nearly all the major entertainment figures of the 20th century.
During his eight-decade career, he gained fame by illustrating the actors, singers, and dancers of various Broadway plays, which would appear in advance in
The New York Times
to herald the play's opening.
