I was wondering if anyone knows any resources on How Broadway has effected NYC in terms of economics, employment ect. It is for a sociology paper. I am interested in anything from the 1850s-present.
Any help on where to get books, articles, statistics would be great!
Go buy the DVD 'Broadway: The Golden Age' - they talk about Broadway and NYC and the interaction of the two - what it was and what it is now.
"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."
