Orchid Show at New York Botanical Garden
02 March – 22 April 2013
New York Botanical Garden‘s annual Orchid Show is a great opportunity to see these exotic flowers in every shape and color imaginable, from all over the world.
Experience the thrill of opening night at The Orchid Show: On Broadway as Tony award-winning set designer Scott Pask and image-maker Drew Hodges bring the allure, excitement, and glamour of Broadway to The New York Botanical Garden.
This must-see, limited run horticultural engagement takes place in the dramatic galleries of the landmark Enid A. Haupt Conservatory. Echoing elements from some of Broadway’s most iconic theaters, including the Walter Kerr Theater and the New Amsterdam Theater, The Orchid Show: On Broadway showcases 5,000 dazzling specimens from one of the most distinguished orchid collections in the world.
Over 300 types of orchids are displayed in dramatic curtains, arcades, and chandeliers under the domes of America’s largest glasshouse. Be charmed by the flowery thespians; on weekends, thrill to the sounds of some of Broadway’s best-loved tunes; and immerse yourself in theater history with Hirschfeld’s Broadway Scrapbook.
