The Museum of Broadway Announces First Special Exhibit: “The American Theatre as Seen by Hirschfeld”!

“In “The American Theatre as seen by Hirschfeld,” 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. You’ll see them across two dedicated walls as well as some of his iconic album covers and programs and portraits he did of Meryl Streep, Julie Andrews, Stephen Sondheim, Liza Minnelli and John Leguizamo, quite a few of which are signed by the subjects.

You can also sit in a replica of Hirschfeld’s barber chair, where it’s said he finished his drawings across his career and get to look through sketchbooks where he recorded his initial impressions of shows. Coolest of all, you can get your own Hirschfeld-inspired portrait made through an app made exclusively for the exhibit.” – Time Out New York
