Another Op’nin’ Another Show!

ANOTHER OP’NIN’ ANOTHER SHOW! is a three-part musical lecture series that goes backstage and behind the curtain to explore the creation of over 30 iconic American Musicals. Meet the composers, lyricists, designers, producers, directors, choreographers and stars who toiled out of town constructing masterpieces of the American Musical Theatre. Share the joy, despair and struggle as these creative teams bring their shows to Broadway and then into American popular culture. Another Op’nin’ Another Show! celebrates the artists whose genius, brilliance and energy created the Golden Age of the American Musical Theatre.
