Tony award-winning set designer Scott Pask and image-maker Drew Hodges are working with Botanical Garden curators to create The Orchid Show: On Broadway, billed as “horticultural theater” and being presented at the New York Botanical Garden, March 5-April 25.

The flower show will feature iconic architectural elements from legendary Broadway theaters dramatically interpreted with thousands of orchids in the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory. More than 300 types of species and hybrid orchids will be used.

In addition, the Library building will feature the exhibition, Hirschfeld’s Broadway Scrapbook, which will include more than 30 drawings and prints, as well as posters, programs, and sketchbooks from the Al Hirschfeld Foundation that tell the history of the Great White Way as seen by the famous caricaturist.

Weekends will feature Broadway Cabaret performances in the Orchid Rotunda, with a vocalist and keyboardist entertaining visitors with Broadway tunes. Performers will be announced at a later date.
