The Museum of Broadway's newest special exhibit celebrating Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss’s Tony Award®-winning hit Broadway musical, SIX, has been extended and will be on-view through April 28th. The exhibit, SIX: THE ROYAL GALLERY was created exclusively for the Museum of Broadway, inviting fans to experience five hundred years of history overthrone through SIX’s boldly revisionist narrative while enjoying Tony Award®-winning costumes and set installations, fan art, listening stations (the only cast recording ever made on a Broadway opening night), and one-of-a-kind photo ops, including the chance to sit on the SIX throne (the only place you can sit in the SIX Royal throne and take a selfie!)  

Additionally, in celebration of Broadway Week 2024, the Museum of Broadway is pleased to offer 2 for 1 tickets, as well as *$25 admission to any guest with a Broadway show ticket stub, starting now through February 4. Visitors can enjoy new installations from Evita, Grey Gardens, Kiss Me, Kate, Miss Saigon and more, and of course, experience SIX: The Royal Gallery.  Entrance to the special exhibit is included in any ticket purchased to the Museum of Broadway.

The exhibit opened to the public on November 6 as part of the SIXth of the Month Series of special events, in-theatre activations and exclusive content curated for SIX’s audience members and fans.  Future events will be announced on the SIX Broadway social channels and the Queendom email list.  Follow @SIXBroadway or sign up at SIXONBROADWAY.com/signup.

The Museum of Broadway, which opened to the public in November 2022, is located in the heart of Times Square at 145 West 45th Street and is the first-ever permanent museum dedicated to the storied history and legendary artistry of Broadway musicals, plays, and the people who make them.

As part of this one-of-a-kind immersive and interactive theatrical experience, guests travel through a visual history of Broadway in a series of exhibits that showcase – and show off – dazzling costumes, props, renderings, rare photos, videos, and more. Along the way, guests learn more about the pivotal shows that transformed the landscape of Broadway and the moments that pushed creative boundaries, challenged social norms, and paved the way for those who would follow. Overall, the museum highlights more than 500 individual productions from the 1700s-present across three floors of exhibits.  Included throughout the timeline are artifacts, props and rare costumes from numerous Broadway productions, including The Phantom of the Opera, West Side Story, Rent, The Ziegfeld Follies, Cabaret, Hamilton, and more.

The museum also celebrates the behind-the-scenes of this dazzling American art form with “The Making of a Broadway Show” exhibit, designed by David Rockwell and presented by Broadway.com, which honors the community of brilliantly talented professionals – both onstage and off – who bring Broadway plays and musicals to life every night. Visitors will learn how a show is made from over 150 exclusive video interviews from their favorite Broadway stars and leading creatives, both on and off the stage.

The SIX special exhibit comes on the heels of ALL THAT JAZZ: The Legacy of CHICAGO the Musical which opened in June and extended its run through October 2023 due to popular demand.
