Universal Music Group / Universal Stage ProductionsFollow

Universal Music Group N.V. (UMG) is the world's largest music company and one of the 'Big Three' record labels, with operational headquarters in Santa Monica, California and corporate headquarters in Hilversum, Netherlands. UMG operates a vast portfolio of record labels (including Interscope, Republic, Def Jam, Capitol, Island, Polydor, and many others), as well as Universal Music Publishing Group, the world's leading music publisher. Universal Stage Productions is a banner of Universal Theatrical Group (UTG), the live theater division of NBCUniversal/Universal Pictures, which oversees both Universal Stage Productions and DreamWorks Theatricals and is best known for producing the record-breaking musical phenomenon Wicked, Billy Elliot, and Death Becomes Her on Broadway. NOTE: This directory entry appears to conflate two distinct entities — Universal Music Group (a Dutch-American multinational music corporation, publicly traded on Euronext Amsterdam) and Universal Stage Productions (a live theater production banner under Universal Theatrical Group, itself a division of NBCUniversal/Comcast, unrelated to UMG).
