John Breglio, entertainment lawyer and Broadway producer, has concentrated on representing companies and individuals involved in all aspects of the entertainment industry, including the legitimate theatre, motion picture, publishing and music businesses, and intellectual property matters. He has been instrumental in assisting his clients to develop, finance and produce hundreds of plays, musicals and films for nearly 40 years.
The scope of his experience ranges from advising film, television and video companies on the development, financing and distribution of entertainment products to advising Broadway and Off-Broadway producers and theater owners on producing and presenting dramatic plays, musicals and revues. He has represented literally hundreds of individual performing and other artists in their professional careers such as Stephen Sondheim, Andrew Lloyd Webber, August Wilson, Michael Bennett, Marvin Hamlisch, Bernadette Peters, Peter Martins and the heirs of the late Bob Marley.
John Breglio is “Broadway’s Attorney,” having repped some of the most important and influential people in the biz, including Andrew Lloyd Webber, Stephen Sondheim, Michael Bennett, and Marvin Hamlisch, as well as Producers, Non-Profits, and so many others. He helped write contracts and deals (like the workshop agreement) that have had long lasting ripple effects throughout our industry (and without a doubt for the better – thanks to his unique ability to approach negotiations from both perspectives)
