We awoke on Tuesday morning and it was pretty overcast. The Museum of Broadway was a few blocks from our hotel, so we definitely wanted to walk there. Bri, my Broadway girl, was quite excited. Walking to the museum was fine - just overcast. Unfortunately while we were inside enjoying the museum, full out rain finally did arrive and it rained the rest of afternoon. Luckily we hadn't planned anything for outside for that day.The Museum of Broadway...
When entering the museum, visitors go up a few flight of stairs and work their way down. The first room that is entered is covered in "Playbills" of currently playing shows (we were seeing "Hadestown" that evening)...
We watched a short movie about Broadway history and then started meandering through the different eras and shows of Broadway.

This really dates me, but I loved seeing all this from Ben Vereen...
I loved seeing representation from so many amazing Broadway shows. I love that I have a hubby and kid who love Broadway as much as I do. What a fun morning!
We still had one more really interesting thing to do in NYC that evening - see "Hadestown" on Broadway.
