Premier Exhibitions will unveil New York City’s newest “must-see” destination for New Yorkers and tourists alike this Spring 2015. Premier On 5th, a state-of-the-art exhibition and special events center located at 417 5th Avenue between 37th & 38th Streets, will offer visitors behind-the-scenes experiences through a diverse range of themed museum quality exhibitions.
Launching with one of New York City’s most iconic brands, Premier On 5th kicks off with “Saturday Night Live: The Exhibition,” celebrating the NBC program’s 40-year history as America’s comedic, musical, political and social pulse. In the Exhibition, SNL fans will be able to experience the excitement of the live show. “Saturday Night Live: The Exhibition” reveals the intense creative process that unfolds to bring each episode of offbeat humor, edgy political satire and hip musical performances into millions of living rooms every Saturday night.
“In addition to connecting visitors with the backstory of the show and affording an opportunity to relive the show’s most laughable moments and sketches, “Saturday Night Live: The Exhibition” goes even further to give people a sense of what it’s like to be part of the creative team, and the frenetic schedule and pace that is involved with each weekly episode,” said Mark Lach, Creative Director of Premier Exhibitions. “It can look so effortless on TV, but this exhibition illustrates that a lot of hard work and preparation undoubtedly goes into each and every laugh.”
Beginning with the scripts that start to take shape on Mondays and culminating with the live broadcast on Saturday, the exhibition illustrates a week in the life of SNL. Original scripts, set pieces, props, costumes, masks and interactive elements reconnect visitors with iconic moments from their favorite sketches as performed by some of the finest comedic artists of their generation. In partnership with Broadway Video Enterprises, “Saturday Night Live: The Exhibition” brings the comedic sensibility, history and tradition of SNL to life through this limited engagement exhibition.
