Historical Context

The 1970 opening of Stephen Sondheim's "Company" marked a transformative moment in Broadway, introducing innovative storytelling and complex themes. This followed the rise of rock musicals in the 1970s, exemplified by "Hair" and "Jesus Christ Superstar." Today, productions like "Fallen Angels" continue this legacy, while partnerships with organizations such as the Born This Way Foundation highlight Broadway's ongoing commitment to social issues.
