The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts > Exhibitions Original Cast RecordingsFrom March 6, 2003 through September 6, 2003
The exhibition documents the history of original cast recordings, the manner in which they are produced, and their role in preserving musical theater and spreading awareness of productions. Recordings from the Rodgers & Hammerstein Archives of Recorded Sound and circulating recorded sound collections are augmented by photographs, posters, and archival materials such as letters and recording contracts from the Billy Rose Theatre Collection and the Music Division. The exhibition features touch-screens that enable the audience to access over three hours of music recordings, as well as a gallery soundtrack of favorite overtures. |
