Here's a very interesting theatre-related outing.
The Museum of the City of New York contains the largest collection of New York stage and Broadway memorabilia.
There is a permanent installation on "Broadway" located on the 3rd floor. It includes history, artifacts, anecdotes, costumes, a set design or two, and props. One can see the store-bought puppet used to audition for the original cast of AVENUE Q, various costumes from RENT, a finale top hat from the original production of A CHORUS LINE, a Gypsy Robe, as well as original song sheets and photographs from Broadway and off-Broadway, over the years.
If you're interested in Broadway history this is a wonderful exhibit, and the museum admission is less than the price of a movie ticket.
The Museum is located on Fifth Avenue at 103rd Street, across the street from the beautiful Conservancy Gardens in Central Park.
This makes for a lovely morning or afternoon adventure.

Posted: 6/22/07 at 12:03amI went a couple of months ago, I'd really reccomend checking it out if you love broadway. I was so bored with it because my friend made me go with her, but the broadway floor made it totally worth it.
