After working on several shows, he made his directorial debut in 1998 by directing, alongside Sam Mendes , the triumphant New York revival of Cabaret .

After directing a version of the show Annie for the small screen, Rob Marshall launched into the seventh art in 2002 by adapting with Chicago another musical comedy, which he had already produced on stage.
