Al Hayman

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Al Hayman, also known as Raphael Hayman, (born 1847, died 1917) was the business partner of the better-known Charles Frohman who together with others established the Theatrical Syndicate in 1896 and as theater empresarios and booking agents helped develop the theater district in New York at the turn of the 20th Century.

In addition to the financial backing, ownership and construction of new theaters and the early monopolisation of the booking networks, the partnership also produced a number of shows.
