Pull back the curtain on show-biz history to explore Broadway's early years: an era of roof-garden theaters, tap shoes, theatrical con artists, and a ghost or two. Tim Dolan, an actor and owner of Broadway Up Close tours in New York City, leads a virtual stroll down the Great White Way as he shares rare photos and stories of the theater district’s past and shines a spotlight on some of its most intriguing secrets.

Dolan’s itinerary includes landmarks like Keens Steakhouse and Times Square and the sites of today’s Nederlander, New Amsterdam, New Victory, Lyric, and Todd Haimes theaters. Along the way, learn the difference between Broadway theaters and their off-Broadway counterparts, find out how a Broadway show is put together, and explore the spirits that may still be lurking in the backstage shadows.
