Slip back in time to see what type of entertainment was popular in

1920, when the historic Goodwill Theatre building was first con-

structed.

The Goodwill Theatre in

the 1920s

100 Years of Broadway: A lot has happened

Broadway runs for 33 whole miles; 18

aren’t even within the city limits! There are 41 Broadway Theatres in New

York but only 4 theatres are actually located

on Broadway Street

The Phantom of the Opera is

Broadway’s longest running

show.

In order to be considered “On Broadway,” a

theater must seat at least 500.

“Edelweiss” from The Sound of Music is the last

song that Rodgers and Hammerstein ever

wrote together .

It took over 37,000 hours (about 4.22 years) to

build all of the puppets used in The Lion

King musical.

The musical Waitress, composed by singer-

songwriter Sara Bareilles, is the first musical to

feature an all-female creative team.

Hamilton was nominated for 16 Tony
