The undeniable glamour and irresistible allure of orchids take center stage at The New York Botanical Garden in a dazzling display created by Tony Award-winning set designer Scott Pask, image-maker Drew Hodges, and New York Botanical Garden curators. The result is must-see horticultural theater. The Orchid Show: On Broadway features iconic architectural elements from legendary theaters of the Great White Way dramatically interpreted with thousands of orchids in the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory. Just a short stroll across the Garden’s grounds in the Library building, a complementary exhibition, Hirschfeld’s Broadway Scrapbook, spotlights works by the American caricaturist whose whimsical drawings so captured audiences that a Broadway theater (the Al Hirschfeld Theater) was named in his honor. On weekends, Broadway cabaret performances in the Orchid Rotunda highlight popular music from Broadway stages.
