Broadway has long been a place where audiences come to put their fears aside and sit together to be entertained, even in times of war, recession and uncertainty. Today, it’s also a billion-dollar industry powered by thousands of workers across 41 theaters in New York’s Times Square theater district.

WSJ spent a day in the life of a Broadway electrician in the lead up to a “Chicago” show to reveal the machine behind this American art form—from the factory floor to a nearly sold-out curtain call.
