Join us at Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, FAU for an intriguing look at Broadway!  From Guys and Dolls to Hamilton, many of Broadway’s most iconic stories are inseparable from the spirit of New York City. Join international theater historian Steve Friedman as he explores how the Big Apple became the backdrop for musical theater history.

This engaging lecture examines celebrated musical biographies — from Annie Oakley and the King of Siam to Carole King and Alexander Hamilton — uncovering where historical fact ends and theatrical fiction begins. How accurate are these legendary portrayals? Let’s find out.

Presented at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Florida Atlantic University in Jupiter, OLLI at FAU offers continuing education designed to keep minds active, curious, and connected. Courses span history, science, artificial intelligence, the arts, philosophy, current affairs, and more — all taught by distinguished university professors.
