After years of work, The Museum of Broadway has finally opened in New York City. It traces the history of theater in the city, from minstrelsy and vaudeville up to the present day, with plenty of artifacts.
Monique Carboni/The Museum of BroadwayThe Museum of Broadway is in the theater district, right off of Times Square."We are a museum. We're also an attraction," said Nicoletti. She said, it's supposed to be fun."You know, they still see the artifacts and they get a great education. But it's really something that they're going to be really excited about, I hope."
The museum itself has three parts: The Map Room, where there's a short film that outlines the history of New York theater and a map of where each current theater is located, a Broadway timeline that stretches throughout most of the exhibit, and a special section called the Making of a Broadway Show.Monique Carboni/The Museum of BroadwayThe timeline walls educate visitors about the history of theater in New York.
As"Oh What A Beautiful Mornin'" plays in the background, visitors brush past that corn and examine what looks like a barn wall, where they can see pictures posted from the original 1943 production, as well as replicas of Richard Rodgers music manuscripts and Oscar Hammerstein's lyric sketches.was not the first to integrate music, song, story and dance but, West said, it"really represents an excellence in how they are all woven together to tell a single theatrical story.
