Nederlander is a Broadway producer and president of the Nederlander Organization, one of the city's largest Broadway theater chains.

Nederlander has been in the theater business since he took his first breath. His grandfather David founded the Nederlander Organization in 1912 with a single theater in Detroit; his legendary father Jimmy eventually took over the family biz and proceeded to expand nationwide, acquiring venues in Cleveland, Chicago, Minneapolis, Los Angeles, and London, among other cities. Raised in what had become one of the country's most prominent theatrical families, Jimmy Jr. went to work for the family business as a teen, and has since worked in every department, from box office to marketing to booking to producing. Today the company owns and/or runs Minskoff, Neil Simon, Palace, Gershwin, Richard Rodgers, the Brooks Atkinson, Lunt-Fontanne, Marquis, and Nederlander Theatre. In recent years, Jimmy Jr. has been involved in staging a number of big productions including The Times They Are A-Changin, Tarzan, Wicked, and Hairspray. He's also turned his eye to international expansion, and has made a big push to expand to Asia. [Image via Getty]
