在我们左侧对面是 埃塞尔·巴里摩尔剧院(Ethel Barrymore Theatre),其知名剧目包括《A Raisin in the Sun》、《The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time》和《The Band’s Visit》。该剧院于 1928 年开业,以传奇女演员 埃塞尔·巴里摩尔(Ethel Barrymore)命名,并且是当年为她建造的剧院中唯一仍然存在的一个。
The sounds, the lights, the traffic, the smells. It can all be a bit overwhelming, especially while you’re listening to me talk. But bare with me, I’m just the messenger.
声音、灯光、交通、气味。这一切可能有点让人不知所措,尤其是在你听我讲话的时候。但请耐心点,我只是个传递信息的人。
虽然《歌剧魅影》是百老汇上演时间最长的剧目,但美国上演时间最长的音乐剧是 《芝加哥》,在 2011 年超越了《歌舞线上》。
Any history buffs out there? Ok, good. Time for a little lesson. Broadway's history dates back to the early 19th century when theatres began to emerge along the street of Broadway. The first significant theatre on Broadway was the Park Theatre, built in 1798.
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the development of the Theatre District solidified Broadway's reputation as the premier location for theatrical productions. The construction of iconic theatres such as the New Amsterdam Theatre in 1903 and the Palace Theatre in 1913 contributed to its fame.
The mid-20th century is often considered the Golden Age of Broadway, with classic productions like "Oklahoma!" (1943), "West Side Story" (1957), and "My Fair Lady" (1956) defining the era.
The thoroughfare itself is a long street that runs the length of Manhattan, but the term "Broadway" commonly refers to the Theatre District, located in Midtown Manhattan.
This area is roughly bounded by 41st Street to the south, 54th Street to the north, 6th Avenue (Avenue of the Americas) to the east, and 8th Avenue to the west. Times Square is often considered the heart of the Theatre District. Broadway is one of the oldest north-south streets in New York City, originally an Algonquin trade route. The name comes from the Dutch "Brede Weg," meaning "Broad Way.
Established in 1947, the Tony Awards are the most prestigious awards in American theatre, celebrating excellence in Broadway productions. Winning a Tony is considered a significant achievement for any show or performer. Time for some did you know.
While "The Phantom of the Opera" is the longest-running show on Broadway, the longest-running American musical is "Chicago," which surpassed "A Chorus Line" in 2011.
Many Broadway theatres are said to be haunted. The Belasco Theatre is one of the most famous, allegedly haunted by its original owner, David Belasco.
Bert Williams was one of the first African-American Broadway stars. He performed in the 1903 musical "In Dahomey," which was the first full-length musical written and performed by African-Americans on Broadway.
The Shubert Organization, which owns and operates many Broadway theatres, maintains an extensive archive documenting the history of its theatres and productions, including original scripts, photographs, and set designs.
