The Museum of Broadway has announced a special exhibit in celebration of Latiné and Hispanic heritage onstage. Entitled !VIVA! Broadway: ayer, hoy y mañana, the exhibition will launch September 15 in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, and remain open through October 15.
Created in partnership with the Broadway League and with support from the Miranda Family Fund, the exhibit will bring to life ¡Viva! Broadway, The Broadway League’s national audience development program that is committed to engaging and inspiring Latiné and Hispanic audiences through activations, media programming, and partnerships. The exhibit will feature a mural by graffiti artist Soraya Marquez, a.k.a. Indie184
“The Broadway League’s ¡Viva! Broadway initiative is excited to collaborate with The Museum of Broadway in celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month by highlighting the remarkable achievements of Latiné and Hispanic artists on Broadway through an immersive month-long exhibit curated by the museum and the League," Jason Laks, interim president of The Broadway League, said in a statement. "Visitors will get the chance to see iconic pieces from favorite Broadway shows up close. Additionally, the month will feature a range of special events and panel discussions with distinguished Broadway performers and industry professionals.”
“The Miranda Family Fund is thrilled to partner with The Broadway League’s ¡Viva! Broadway and The Museum of Broadway to showcase the extraordinary contributions made by Latino and Hispanic artists on Broadway and to the American Theatre as a whole,” added ¡Viva! Broadway Advisory Board Chair Luis A. Miranda, Jr., patriarch of the Miranda Family Fund. “We look forward to spotlighting the incomparable impact our community has had on the art form, and we could not be more grateful to The Museum of Broadway for providing a stage to celebrate and elevate the ripples of these achievements on the industry, its professionals, and theatre-going audiences for generations to come.”
