The lights dim. A hush falls over the crowd. The curtains open . . . It's show time on Broadway!
Experience the thrill of opening night at The Orchid Show: On Broadway as Tony award-winning set designer Scott Pask and image maker Drew Hodges bring the allure, excitement, and glamour of Broadway to The New York Botanical Garden.
This must-see, limited run horticultural engagement takes place in the dramatic galleries of the landmark Enid A. Haupt Conservatory. Echoing elements from some of Broadway's most iconic theaters, including the Walter Kerr Theater and the New Amsterdam Theater, The Orchid Show: On Broadway showcases 5,000 dazzling specimens from one of the most distinguished orchid collections in the world.
Over 300 types of orchid are displayed under the dome of America's largest glasshouse. Pull up a vintage theater seat and soak in the show amid the warmth of the glittering Conservatory. Be charmed by the flowery thespians, and on weekends, thrill to the sounds of some of Broadway's best-loved tunes.
Ready for a Broadway-worthy second act? Then head over to the Library Gallery for a special exhibition: Hirschfeld's Broadway Scrapbook. This exclusive show gets you an inside look at rarely seen pieces of Broadway history on loan from the artist's private collection. Hirschfeld's iconoclastic line drawings accompanied decades of theater reviews in The New
York Times and adorn the walls of legendary theater haunts Sardi's, The Blue Bar at The Algonquin, and 1789 in Washington, D.C.
Looking for a souvenir that will last a little longer than a Playbill? Then head over to the Shop in the Garden where gorgeous, rare orchids will be on offer, along with all the knowledge you'll need to keep your flowery diva blooming and re-blooming for years to come. Kids will love exploring the Showstoppers of Spring, a fun, hands-on, fully interactive exploration of nature's theater! Search for spring ingénues (new buds), listen for the show
tunes of nature (bird songs), and delight in the "cast" of characters that only a garden can showcase!
At The Orchid Show: On Broadway, life is a cabaret! So buy your tickets and plan ahead, a day at The New York Botanical Garden is a day full of showstoppers, star turns, and old favorites.
