On Sunday, an incredible Broadway season was celebrated as the biggest night on Broadway returned to Radio City Music hall for the first time since 2019 (after a smaller ceremony was held at the Winter Garden theatre in September of 2021.)
In the mid 1800s, lower Manhattan contained a row of streets that were known as the Five Points.
As the curtain rose at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre last night, I wasn’t quite sure what I was about to witness. Broadway’s newest musical Paradise Square tells the exuberant story of the supposed birth of dancing, taking place at a bar in the Five Points of lower Manhattan in 1863.
