ALLENTOWN, Penn., June 27, 2019 /Standard Newswire/ -- You are not likely to find anything about Noah's Ark on New York City's famous Broadway today ... but in 1896, it was the "toast of the town."
The great Noah's Ark Illusion show was featured at one of the most beautiful venues in the entire world: Hammerstein's Olympia Theater and Music Hall. Titled "After the Flood," it thrilled everyone from every-day working families to the city's elite.
The illusion itself was so intricate (back then), that a step-by-step break-down of the performance was featured in Scientific American.
It did not matter that the theme was taken from the Christian Holy Bible. In 1896, the scientist was just as likely as the preacher to give the Noah's Ark illusion a standing ovation.
For July 2019, you can visit a new web page dedicated to the Hammerstein presentation of the Great Noah's Ark Illusion.
