Give your
regards to Broadway on this journey through the world’s most
famous theatre district. Learn how a group of visionary New
Yorkers transformed a collection of horse stables into the world
famous Times Square theater district. Seen through the eyes of
the original Yankee Doodle Dandy, you will visit legendary
theaters such as the New Amsterdam, the Imperial, and the
Palace. Follow in your favorite singers’ and dancers’ footsteps
in Shubert Alley and discover the rich history of the grandest
plays and musicals in and around Times Square. Born in 1878, the
multi-talented Cohan was an entertainer, playwright, composer,
lyricist, actor, singer, dancer and producer. Known as 'the man
who owned Broadway' in the decade before World War I, he is said
to be the father of the American musical comedy. The song 'The
Yankee Doodle Boy' (also known as 'Yankee Doodle Dandy'), based
on an old Revolutionary War number, was Cohan's trademark piece.
