2. Broadway - Info

Broadway - Info Broadway Theater is on 1681 Broadway and 53rd street in New York City. Since Broadway is in the heart of the bustling city New York, undoubtedly it is a major attraction to both residents and tourists alike. Rich with history, the Broadway theater is quite appealing. Plus, the diversity in musicals and plays makes for excellent entertainment.

The Broadway Theater is one of the most popular theaters in the world. It is important to realize however that the term theater has come to cover well over 39 theaters in New York. Thus, if someone says something is playing on Broadway, that means it may be playing in anyone of the 39 nine theaters and not necessarily in the Broadway Theater itself.

Getting a play or musical on Broadway is synonymous with success just as landing a part in a play that is being performed on Broadway equates to making it in the business. Ultimately, because Broadway is such an attraction it means that the play or musical, the actors, and the actresses will get a great deal of good exposure. Exposure is extremely important in the theatrical world. It equates to money and recognition for later creations and performances. Thus, the Broadway Theater has been the stepping stone for many playwrite and acting careers.

The Broadway theater first opened on Christmas in 1924. The original name of the Broadway theater was the B.S. Moss’s Colony Theatre and it was also originally created as a movie house. The original architecture of the Broadway Theatre is the incredible handiwork of Eugene DeRosa, and the building holds well over 1700 seats. In fact, the amount of seating available in the Broadway Theater makes the theater one of the biggest theaters of its kind. Further, due to its large capacity, the Broadway Theater became the perfect location for live performances and gatherings.

The B.S. Moss Colony Theater saw its name changed to Broadway in 1930. The first ad for Broadway as is now known was posted in the “Playbill”: an advertisement that noted the aesthetic aspects of the architecture and the idealistic setting for theatrical performances. Indeed, the Broadway Theater is incredibly beautiful and inviting to all of the visitors that stop in each and every year.

Without a doubt, the Broadway Theater has remained an attraction decades after its doors first opened. The Broadway Theater offers an array of year round performances and actors and actresses alike often work toward establishing a presence on Broadway. Thus, Broadway has become synonymous with success in the world of theatrical productions and acting.

3. The Broadway Theater and Its Rich History

The Broadway Theater and Its Rich History The Broadway Theater was build with amazing performances in mind. Every measure has been used to ensure that the Theater offers the maximum in entertainment. Yet, what makes the theater particularly appealing to the public is that is affordable to all people: it is not solely a place for elite people to gather for the purposes of entertainment.

The first show in the Broadway Theater as it is now known was “The New Yorkers” an ideal play, fitting to the city in which the theater is located. “The New Yorker” was a musical written by Herbert Fields and Cole Porter involving a New York woman from Park Avenue played by Hope Williams. The show was an immediate success and it became incredibly popular, despite its high priced tickets in the 1930’s. Of course, the time period in which this show opened needs to be considered: the stock market had just crashed in 1929 and the depression ultimately had a baneful affect on the sale of tickets. Unfortunately, the show ran for a short period: six weeks in all.

The second show to appear on Broadway in 1932 was the “Earl Carroll Vanities”. The cast included a young Milton Berle, Helen Broderick, and Harriet Hoctor. The second show faired better than the first, running for a full eleven weeks and receiving rave reviews. The “Earl Carroll Vanities” was followed by “The O’Flynn” in 1934.

The Broadway Theater often staged plays that paralleled the times. In 1942, while involved in World War I, the show “This Is the Army.” What’s more, the proceeds from the showing of this popular play went toward relief for the soldiers involved in the war. Irving Berlin’s musical drew huge crowds and a great deal of money was raised for war relief.

Hundreds of plays and musicals have been staged on Broadway since the doors opened in 1924. The Broadway Theatre stage has seen many acting greats establish their career including Eddie Bracken, Ethyl Merman, Florence Henderson, Jose Ferrer, Tessie O’Shea, Peter Sallis, Jason Robards Jr., Anne Bancroft and more. Further, many well named musicals have been recognized on the stage of Broadway: “Hair,” “Guys and Dolls,” “Candide,” “Zorba,” and “Les Miserables” have all been acted out on the Broadway stage.

In 1924 there is no way the success of the Broadway theater could have been predetermined. Nevertheless, the theater remains an attraction to the public until this very day. Musicals and plays are performed every month in the theater and the public will often find that booking tickets in advance are to their benefit.

4. The Types of Shows Available at the Broadway Theater

The Types of Shows Available at the Broadway Theater The Broadway Theater is well known for its musicals. Musicals both old and new can be seen at the Broadway theater. Some musicals have a comical story behind them while others may be more serious. Previous musicals staged at the theater include musicals like “Hair” and “Les Miserables” as well as many others.

The Broadway Theater also shows plays that are adaptations of popular films. Most recently, The Color Purple has been run on the Broadway Theater’s stage. Plays and musicals are the primary entertainment that the theatre offers. For an upcoming list of events, you can view the event calendar online or you can call the theater and get show information.

Bear in mind that the theater is not appropriate for children of all ages and young children are not allowed in the auditorium area of the theater. Young children have difficulty focusing on long shows and may become disruptive. To avoid disruption, it is not recommended that individuals bring children under the age of 8 to the theater for any production, no matter how age appropriate the production is.
