Dance theatre is also growing in importance. Rex Nettleford, Eddy Thomas, Olive Lewin, and Edna Manley are four Jamaicans whose influences on the arts – music and dance in particular – have been extremely important. Nettleford, Thomas, and Ivy Baxter formed the National Dance Theatre Company in 1962.[17] Other important Jamaicans in dance theatre have included the Tony-Award-winning choreographer Garth Fagan (The Lion King on Broadway).
