The Museum of Broadway, which opened in November of 2022, creates an interactive experience for attendees while celebrating the cultural significance of the theatre productions that have graced Broadway's iconic stages.
As the first museum solely dedicated to the history of Broadway theatre, there is a seemingly endless amount of memorabilia to look at and learn from. From a full timeline of its history to hundreds of rare props, costumes, and more, the Museum of Broadway is the perfect place to visit for all Broadway musical fans.
BHS Agent and Tony Award-winning Broadway producer Marsi Gardiner recently toured the Museum of Broadway, discussing some of her favorite parts of the experience. As the producer of critically acclaimed productions such as Jersey Boys, Girl from the North Country, Dear Evan Hansen, and most recently, Parade, Gardiner offers a wealth of knowledge on all things Broadway.
“The museum is truly immersive, filled with so many exciting exhibits...There is so much to see!” -- Marsi Gardiner, BHS Agent
Among the many highlights of the museum are original, impeccably preserved costumes from the Ziegfeld Follies; a full-scale replica of Doc's candy shop from West Side Story; a scale model of the Gershwin Theatre, currently home to Wicked; costumes from the original production of Rent; and a room dedicated to Al Hirschfeld's legendary illustrations.
