I loved this video! I would love to visit this exhibit if I were in New York. First, the design of the video was great. It was simple, yet memorable and it changed throughout the two minute clip without being aggressive. Not mentioned in the video, is the fact that they will have prompt books from some of the most popular shows on Broadway and the West End. It will be so cool to have our craft visible to the public in a library. I also love that the New York Public Library is choosing represent both countries on their award shows’ historic anniversaries. So often, I wish that we had an education in the creation of theatre in West End. I feel like I hear stories of how it is cheaper and more efficient to produce a show in London than in New York. To know why and how that happens would be interesting. I think that so often we get focused on how we do theatre in America, but we do not get learn about how other countries do it.
