A multi-media tribute to Broadway's Tony-winning songwriters will be on display at the New York Public Library beginning Feb. 26. Entitled "Songwriters & the Tony Awards," the multi-media tribute will feature "manuscripts, posters, photographs, designs, letters, original cast recordings, videos, and other memorabilia [that] provide insights into the collaborative process – both the missteps and achievements – of creating such smash hits as Rodgers and Hammerstein's South Pacific, Frank Loesser's Guys and Dolls, Bock and Harnick's Fiddler on the Roof, Kander and Ebb's Cabaret and Sondheim's Company."

Exhibition hours are Monday-Thursday, noon-8 PM; Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, 11 AM-6 PM; and Saturday, 10 AM-6 PM. Admission is free. The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts' Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Center is located at 40 Lincoln Center Plaza. For further information call (212) 870-1630 or visit www.nypl.org.
