The Theatre on Film and Tape (TOFT) archive is part of the Billy Rose Theatre Collection at the NYPL. The archive is available for research purposes and includes tape or film versions of many Broadway shows, as well some Off Broadway, regional, and non-U.S. productions. To view a film or tape, an advance appointment must be made and you must offer a reason for viewing. You must have an Access card. Tape availability requests can be made to 212-870-1642. More information about the Billy Rose Theatre Collection is available at www.nypl.org/research/lpa/the/the.html and details on using the archives can be viewed at www.nypl.org/research/lpa/the/the.usarch.html. 2.
