From the moment we stepped into the Museum of Broadway we were transported behind the scenes of a Broadway show! Located in the heart of Times Square (145 W 45th Street), this multi-level experiential museum is a must-see for anyone who is theater obsessed.
There are limitless photo opportunities where you can step into amazing musicals and plays from the past and present! You can hang out behind the counter of Doc’s Drug Store from “West Side Story,” walk through a cornfield paying homage to “Oklahoma!” and be transported to the ‘90s in the streets of the East Village that’s straight out of “Rent”. And let’s not forget the glitz and glamor of “The Ziegfeld Follies”!
See unforgettable costumes from iconic classics such as “The Phantom of the Opera” and contemporary favorites such as “Hamilton”, and even the costume Meryl Streep wore in her Broadway debut in 1975! There is so much to learn, read and see in each space dedicated to many incredible shows!
From Simba and Nala IG filters to a physical Stephen Sondheim word puzzle to play, the Museum of Broadway is filled with immersive surprises. Level by level, there is something new to uncover walking through the experience!
The Museum of Broadway is in the heart of Times Square, right next door to the Lyceum Theatre, Broadway’s oldest continually operating theater. This incredible museum is perfectly located, just steps away from a variety of major productions! (Pro tip for locals… enter from 6th Ave).
Visiting the Museum of Broadway, you’re literally walking through a stunning visual timeline of theater’s most important moments and productions. For locals and tourists alike, this museum gives you both a backstage pass and front row seat like you’ve never experienced!
