He received a Tony nomination for directing "On The Twentieth Century" (1978) and won twice for the Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals "Evita" (1980) and "The Phantom of the Opera" (1988). Between them, Prince was offered the job of directing "Cats" by Lloyd Webber but turned it down and directed "A Doll's Life" (1982) with lyricists Betty Comden and Adolph Green. The musical continued the story of Nora Helmer past what Henrik Ibsen had written in "A Doll's House". It ran for five performances; "The New York Times" wrote, "It was overproduced and overpopulated to the extent that the tiny resolute figure of Nora became lost in the combined mechanics of Broadway and the Industrial Revolution."
