From the 1950s through the 1970s, the studio of Friedman-Abeles was among the most prolific photographers of Broadway theater. Over the last two decades, the Library has digitized many of their photographs, including, in the past three years, almost all of their color slides. Fans familiar with cast recordings and movie versions can now see (or remember) what the original productions of the so-called golden age of Broadway musical theater looked like on stage.

In this panel, long-time industry veteran Ted Chapin will interview a group of individuals with special connections to these photographs and the shows they documented.
