SPECIAL EXHIBIT

Our Special Exhibit is currently dedicated to the work of Al Hirschfeld and we carry an exclusive line of Hirschfeld merchandise and Hirschfeld prints in our lobby gift store.

Curated by David Leopold, Creative Director of The Al Hirschfeld Foundation, “The American Theatre As Seen By Hirschfeld,” was created exclusively for the Museum of Broadway, and features twenty-five 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, among others. Two exhibition walls are dedicated to Hirschfeld's theatre posters, programs and album covers. Visitors will see a replica of Hirschfeld’s barber chair, where he drew all the finished drawings in his career, as well as a selection of sketchbooks that he used to record his initial impressions of shows in out-of-town tryouts and previews. Portraits of Meryl Streep, Julie Andrews, Stephen Sondheim, Liza Minnelli and John Leguizamo, many of them signed by their subjects, will also be on display, and visitors will have the chance to create a Hirschfeld portrait of themselves with a new app created exclusively for this exhibition.
