After the performance of On Broadway--1956 this last Saturday, we had our talk back with the audience--a glorified question and answer session. One of the questions posed that night, was about the idea for the set. Brittany Elias, the Set Designer, volunteered that pretty much all Trinity Bird, the Director, had told her was "New York in the 1950's." She began searching for images and found the TWA advertisement from that era.
For all of you who have seen the show, you can instantly see how she incorporated elements of the ad into the design.
On Broadway--1956 still has four more performances this week
--singing and dancing over 30 great songs from the top Broadway shows of the 1950's--
in front of Brittany's beautiful set inspired by a magazine ad......
See you there.

Artistic Director
