The Music Hall Behind-the-Scenes Tour

Hear the story of the 1878 theater, designated “An American Treasure”by the National Park Service and the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Learn about its award-winning renovations and restorations,  celebrated patrons and performers. It's all here during this exciting 75 minute tour of the beautifully renovated, historically fascinating Music Hall.     

The tour includes visits to the backstage area where 1901 Vaudeville era “technology” is still in use, the antique front of house dating to 1878, and the enchanting lobby renovated with great flair in 2008. Arranged and guided by Music Hall Historian Zhana Morris, also the theater’s production manager, the historical tour paints a full picture of the history of the treasured theater, including the tales of sailors who rigged the theater in the late 19th Century, its flashy and famous owners, and stars across three centuries. Its performers and writers have ranged from Mark Twain to Wynton Marsalis, from David McCullough to k.d. lang—and its landmark setting has seen all manner of productions from circus acts to comedy to classical ballet. Visitors will see the passage of time through the building’s award-winning restorations and renovations which have brought back details dating back to 1878 and 1901, the hall’s periods of architectural significance.
