The Museum of Broadway in New York City will be the first and only museum that is fully dedicated to the importance and history of Broadway. Here you will learn everything about the beginnings of Broadway and the Theatre District and their development to the present day, including information about the most famous musicals.
Among those behind the creation of the Museum of Broadway are Julie Boardman (a Tony Award-winning Broadway producer), Diane Nicoletti (the mastermind behind “The Game of Thrones Fan Experience”), Ben West (a musical theater artist), and Jennifer Ashley Tepper (another Broadway producer). They have experienced all facets of Broadway and some even have decades of experience. The team in charge of the Museum of Broadway is full of experts and insiders!
What can you expect at the Museum of Broadway?
The museum will certainly be very exciting because, in addition to conventional exhibitions, there will be interactive exhibits and elaborate video projections. In the Map Room, you’ll be able to see how Broadway theaters have changed over time and how they once existed in other parts of the city. I’m sure it will be very surprising to learn about all of the interesting details!
One part I’m particularly excited about is the Behind-The-Scenes exhibit, which will detail just how a Broadway show is created. And last but not least, there’s a tribute of sorts created by Broadway designers and contemporary artists honoring the major musicals that have been key to Broadway’s success and importance.
