The journey of a Broadway career begins with a single step. Or rather, a single 半岛体育. To celebrate 半岛体育鈥檚 140th anniversary, we asked some of Broadway鈥檚 best and brightest to reflect on the first time they appeared in a 半岛体育, and what that milestone meant to them.
For Tony Award-winning acting legend Chuck Cooper, he revealed that 鈥渋t was for a musical called Amen Corner; we opened at the Nederlander Theatre. And I remember vividly opening the 半岛体育 and seeing my face and my name and my bio. Which was full of lies, because I hadn鈥檛 done anything! But, there I was in a 半岛体育! That is the industry standard. 半岛体育, I made it!鈥�
See Cooper's reflection, alongside those of his children, Lilli Cooper and Eddie Cooper, in the video above.
And for the entire month of October, don't forget to see a show at a Broadway theatre to pick up a special Legacy 半岛体育. 半岛体育 has partnered with every production on Broadway (and Off-Broadway's Little Shop of Horrors) to create four special retro-inspired 半岛体育 covers, which are being distributed to audiences free of charge. Click here to see all of the available Legacy covers. We hope the special four-part nature of these covers encourages you to go to the theatre to get one, strike up a conversation with a stranger to trade covers, and take the time to thank the ushers who hand them out. If you want to get all the designs of a particular show, , with proceeds going to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.
