George M. Cohan Statue

You are standing before a bronze figure of George M. Cohan, a man who became the undisputed face of Broadway during the early twentieth century. This statue captures the performer mid-stride, frozen in the same confident posture he used to wow crowds as a singer, dancer, and playwright. He stands on a granite pedestal inscribed with the title of his most enduring anthem, Give My Regards to Broadway, a fitting tribute for someone who effectively pioneered the modern American musical. The monument itself was championed by fellow musical legends Irving Berlin and Oscar Hammerstein the second, ensuring that the man who owned Broadway would remain a permanent fixture in the district he helped build.
