One of Broadway's most influential businessmen, Tony Award-winning Producer Ken Davenport shares the time he challenged the Backstreet Boys, the meaning of producing a show, and his emotions of winning the Tony Award for Once On This Island. Long thought to be a creative genius, Tony Award-winning Scenic Designer Scott Pask explains his thought process of how he designs a show (Book of Mormon, Mean Girls, Something Rotten, Waitress), the time he dropped his Tony Award on the floor, and a story involving Sarah Jessica Parker. Playbill Staff Photographer Marc J.
