James M. Nederlander Dead: One of Broadway’s Impresario Titans

Variety: James M. Nederlander, the impresario who was the chairman of Broadway’s Nederlander Organization, died July 25 at 94, it was announced by his son, James L. Nederlander.

As the head of a company that is one Broadway’s major theater owners — and the one with the largest holdings around world, with nine venues on Broadway, three on the West End and 17 around the U.S. — Nederlander was a longtime titan of the theater industry. He was also the patriarch of what remains a family business, which began with the clan’s ownership of theaters in Detroit (purchased by his father David T. Nederlander) and, in the 1960, pushed into New York City under his leadership.
