About Broadway
Our goal in these history essays is to see how the musical has developed over the last few centuries on stage and screen, to asses where it currently stands, and to then make some educated guesses as to where it is headed in years to come. The annual Tony Awards recognize some of the most successful new shows and revivals each year. While the razzmatazz of Broadway appeals to a mass audience, some theatergoers prefer the more experimental, challenging, and intimate performances possible in smaller theaters elsewhere in Manhattan.
