Albert Marre was an American stage director and producer. Born in New York City as Albert Eliot Moshinsky, he made his Broadway debut as an actor and associate director of the 1950 revival of John Vanbrugh's Restoration comedy The Relapse. Three years later he helmed a production of Shaw's Misalliance, followed by Kismet, for which he received the 1954 Donaldson Award for Best Director of a Musical. The cast of Kismet included Alfred Drake, Doretta Morrow, Richard Kiley and Joan Diener. Diener would become Marre's wife in 1956, the same year he was nominated for the Tony Award for Best Director for The Chalk Garden. That same year he also directed a revival of Shaw's Saint Joan starring Irish actress Siobhán McKenna. In 1958, Marre directed the Jean Anouilh play, Time Remembered, which starred Helen Hayes, Richard Burton, Susan Strasberg and Sig Arno. The production won five Tony nominations including Best Play, and Hayes took home the prize for Best Actress. The same year, he directed a production of At the Grand, a musical version of Vicki Baum's 1930 novel, Grand Hotel, in Los Angeles, with Marre's wife, Joan Diener, as the opera diva who falls in love with a charming, but larcenous, faux baron.
