A Great Retail Addition to 5th Ave - Idea

Posted: 12/31/03 at 10:36pm

I know there are several Broadway New York stores, but I think a nice addition would be a Museum/Store/Tony Awards centre on 5th Ave.

When I visit Times Square/5th Ave - I love visiting all the unique shops. Toys R Us was a very nice addition.

Imagine a Broadway shop, with one floor having merchandise from past and current shows. Maybe even live music every now and then, and special events for Cast Recording signings and new show promotions and such.

Second floor is a museum with lots of old props, playbills, costumes, photos, etc. Included in the museum is a Tony section with info kiosks, historical information, and TV clips of memorable moments.

Call it "The Playbill Store" or something of that nature.

Just a thought...
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

I think it would be more appropriate than that stupid Hershey store.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

There used to be a "Broadway" museum in the Minskoff Alley between 45th and 44th Street. I don't know how long it was there or what happened. Anyone ever go or know why it closed.

The best Broadway can get is an occasional exhibition at the performing Arts library at Lincoln Center or the Museum of The City Of New York.

It would be nice to take over the Times Square Theatre or the Liberty and make a theatre Museum .

I personally like the Hershey store. They place cool music.

The 5th Ave. Disney Store used to be a very special place for me to visit, used to love going there. Now it is crap. They have taken down decorations to make room for t-shirts. They did away with the art gallery to bring in more stuffed animal plushes. The store lost its Magic - I have no reason to go anymore. Tear it down - let my Broadway Store/Museum idea move in.

I think you have an absolutely brilliant idea. It would be terrific to have a history of theatre right there. And memorabilia also. I just found an old Aspects Of Love Poster and I can't wait to have it framed. They could also have video presentations you could see. I hope someone with money is reading this thread.

If there is a Broadway store, I would be first in line to get in. Yes, the Broadway store should take over Hershey's.

And in Madame Tussand's wax museum, there should be Broadway people. The only people on Broadway who they had is Matthew Brodrick and Nathan Lane in front of a Producer's logo. I wish they had other people.

I'm surprised that NYC doesn't have a Broadway museum. There's all that stuff, and no museum.
I have my books and my poetry to protect me...

Wax museum also has Barbra Streisand.

There she goes again. Always with recommendations coming. Too bad she ain't a gay guy or Corine2 would be on "Queer Eye For the Straight Guy!"
