The Museum of Broadway has announced the first special exhibit that will be featured in the museum, “The American Theatre as seen by Hirschfeld,” curated by David Leopold, creative director of The Al Hirschfeld Foundation in Bucks County.
The new exhibition, on display until March 15, takes visitors through nine decades of Hirschfeld’s iconic images of theater in this country through drawings and prints from 1928 to 2002.
Visitors will be brought face to face with the original productions of “Fiddler on the Roof,” “The Phantom of the Opera,” “The King and I,” “Sunday in the Park with George,” “Funny Girl,” “Ragtime,” “Beauty and the Beast” and “Hairspray.”
Hirschfeld drew more posters for Broadway shows than any other artist, and two walls in the exhibition are dedicated to posters, programs and album covers.
The Museum of Broadway is an immersive and interactive theatrical experience devoted to musicals, plays, and the people who make them.
Tickets can be purchased at TheMuseumOfBroadway.com.
