NEW YORK, Nov 14 (Reuters) - Right on Times Square in the heart of New York's theater district, a new Museum of Broadway is designed to take fans behind the curtain of some of its biggest musicals. Rooms in the museum on 45th Street, which opens on Tuesday, use music, videos, glittering costumes and walk-through sets to tell the history of how the theater district came to be. The heart of Broadway Theater was located downtown in Union Square in the 1850s and arrived in Times Square in the early 1900s. A show is considered "Broadway" when performed in about 40 theaters with 500 or more seats in the Broadway District in Midtown Manhattan. And so, you know, it should be here, and it should be in Times Square," Boardman said.

NEW YORK, Sept 16 (Reuters) - A giant refugee girl puppet, known as "Little Amal," walked around New York City's Times Square on Friday, raising awareness of the plight of displaced children seeking safety across borders. Amal represents a 10-year-old looking for her mother who set out in search of food and never returned, said Peter Avery, director of theater for the New York City Department of Education and producer of Little Amal Walks New York. Broadway performers and about 200 New York City students serenaded Amal to calm her in bustling Times Square. "Little Amal's message to the world is, 'Don't forget us,'" Avery said.
