The Museum of Broadway to Open in 2020 in Times Square

It was announced today that the Museum of Broadway will launch in New York City's Times Square in 2020.

The pop-up museum will focus on three main components: the expansion and evolution of the theater district from lower Manhattan to Times Square; the making of a Broadway show, spotlighting the multitude of behind-the-scenes roles that bring Broadway plays and musicals to life every night; and the "game-changers" — the landmark musicals through the decades that continually challenged and redefined the very idea of what a Broadway show could be.

The Museum will be presented by three time Tony-nominated producer Julie Boardman of Untitled Theatricals, and Boardman Productions and president of Rubik Marketing Diane Nicoletti.

Boardman offered the following statement: "We look forward to crafting an interactive exhibition for people of all ages to engage with Broadway's history, get an inside look at how a show is created, and celebrate the community of artists whose work has transformed Broadway and shaped its legacy over the last 100 years."
