Tin Pan Alley: Gateway to the American Musical on Broadway
Saturday July 27, 2024 1:15pm - 2:15pm EDT
Sutton Center
During the two decades when Tin Pan Alley flourished on 28th Street in New York (approx. 1890-1910), a symbiotic relationship was established between the commercial theatre – musical comedies in particular – and the emerging commercial sheet music industry: each benefitted and grew from helping to popularize the other. Contributions by Jewish and African American sheet music publishers as well as the entrepreneurial roles taken by women in this era directly shaped the American musical. This panel discussion will show how these entrepreneurs set the musical's development in motion to create the first golden age of musical theatre, 1924-1940.
