As 15 new Broadway shows open by the end of April 2022, Times Square will be transformed into a grand gallery of playbills. The Broadway Grand Gallery exhibition will feature 21 currently running shows on 11 large Playbill monoliths. The installation will be located on the Broadway Plaza between 47th and 48th Streets and will be on display through June 15, 2022.
Each monolith will include 2 shows on each side for a total of 11 on the Times Square Plaza totaling 21 participating shows. They will each be ten feet tall, six feet wide, and three feet deep. The sides of each will be designed by each of the shows and will include information including description text, photos, the show’s logo, a QR code to their own Playbill webpage, and a QR code powered by a ticketing agent to allow for ticket purchases. Some will include a map showing guests where the theater is in relation to the exhibit.
