A celebration of the centennial of the modern Broadway musical, tracing its evolution from the 1920s through today through costumes, set models, photographs, scores, cast recordings, and video of landmark productions. The exhibition charts the musical's role as a barometer of American culture, examining how shows from Show Boat and Oklahoma! to Hamilton and A Strange Loop have grappled with race, gender, sexuality, and national identity. Interactive listening stations, a re-created dressing room, and a replica stage set let visitors experience the world behind the curtain.
