In this week’s Broadway Direct newsletter, we took a deeper look into the thrilling finale of Rocky. It’s an exciting tour de force that blends together the worlds of theatre and sports.

That honor belongs to Golden Boy, which opened all the way back in 1964 and starred Sammy Davis, Jr. Throughout the years, Broadway has delivered exciting stories from a wide variety of sports including baseball, basketball, football, soccer, tennis, and many more.
