Leader John Braham Leaves Boston for New York Casino

Boston bids farewell to John J. Braham, longtime Globe Theatre conductor, who has shaped the city’s musical stage for nearly two decades. Born into a famous English musical family, Braham’s career spans Adelphi, Howard Atheneum, Museum, Bijou, and numerous operettas. He helped originate Evangeline, Pippins, and many scores, while steering orchestras through fires, bankruptcies, and triumphant hits such as Ruddigore. His departure to New York promises further influence in American theatre.
