The Broadway Museum is a Hit! Tech while Traveling; Swim Safely with Imagine Swimming; Preparing Your Home for Summer

The Museum of Broadway opened its doors to the public on November 15, 2022, but Julie Boardman and Diane Nicoletti have been working on the development of the Museum for over 5 years. As part of this immersive and interactive theatrical experience, guests 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. Some of the exhibits included throughout the timeline showcase props and artifacts from the Broadway productions of Phantom of the Opera, West Side Story, Rent, Company, Cabaret, Hamilton and many more. The Museum also features a “Making Of” exhibit dedicated to the folks behind the scenes on a Broadway production and a special exhibit, The American Theatre as seen by Hirschfeld, curated by David Leopold, Creative Director of The Al Hirschfeld Foundation. Diane joins Michelle to talk all about the amazing new museum in Times Square.
