“Bring in ’Da Noise, Bring in ’Da Funk” is a musical history of rhythm in African-American life told through dancer/choreographer Savion Glover’s explosive street-tap style. Originally a hit downtown at the Joseph Papp Public Theater, the show moved to Broadway in 1996 for an ongoing run and received four Tony Awards.
Utilizing wood typefaces, the souvenir program is distinguished by the varied but cohesive graphic language that has become emblematic of the theater.
