There is a legend that every performer leaves a bit of themselves on those magical stages. As the lights of Broadway went out, the spirits of all the performers who sang and danced on those boards, must have wept in the silence.

As Broadway comes back to life and the theatres re-open, it’s a perfect time to celebrate America’s great gift to world: Musical Theatre!

From The Black Crook to Hamilton, Another Op’nin’ Another Show! will chart the creation of what is now the world’s most produced form of theatre.

 

 

Another Op’nin’ Another Show! will toast the tunesmiths, the poets, and the stars of Broadway whose collective genius created the American Musical Theatre.
