THIS IS A PERMANENT MUSEUM
Deets: In November 2022 the first permanent museum dedicated to Broadway OPENED in the heart of Times Square. The Museum of Broadway is an experiential museum that celebrates Broadway's rich history, the behind-the-scenes and its game changers.
The Museum of Broadway is founded by entrepreneur and 2-time Tony Award-winning producer, Julie Boardman, and founder of award-winning experiential agency Rubik Marketing, Diane Nicoletti. Elie Landau serves as the Museum’s general manager. Currently under construction, the Museum is slated to open November 15, 2022 at 145 West 45th Street.
The Museum of Broadway is an immersive and interactive theatrical experience devoted to musicals, plays, and the people who make them. Featuring the work of dozens of designers, artists, and theatre historians, this one-of-a-kind Museum takes visitors on a journey along the timeline of Broadway, from its birth to present day, where the past, present, and future of Broadway come together like never before!
Guests will travel through a visual history of Broadway, highlighting groundbreaking moments in a series of exhibits that showcase – and show off – dazzling costumes, props, renderings, rare photos, videos, and more. Along the way, guests will learn more about the pivotal shows or “game changers” that transformed the landscape of Broadway - the moments that pushed creative boundaries, challenged social norms, and paved the way for those who would follow.
The Museum will also celebrate the behind-the-scenes of this dazzling American art form with a special exhibit, “The Making of a Broadway Show,” which will honor the community of brilliantly talented professionals – both onstage and off – who bring Broadway plays and musicals to life every night.
UPDATE: Check out the brand new special exhibit dedicated to Broadway’s Longest Running American Musical - ALL THAT JAZZ: The Legacy of Chicago The Musical in the Museum of Broadway! Guests can get a closer look at artifacts, stunning costumes, and even feel like they’re a part of the show in an exclusive photo activation. ALL THAT JAZZ: The Legacy of CHICAGO the Musical will open to the public on June 30, 2023.
