30 DAYS OF NYC MEMORIES – DAY 7: BROADWAY IN THE STREETS

After a long summer in the city, the heat begins to subside and Broadway artists emerge from their dark ice cold theatres to gather smack dab in the middle of Times Square to give a free concert to the public. Thousands of people fill into the crossroads of the world (can we still call it that since half of it is a pedestrian zone now?) to listen to some of the best Broadway Theatre has to currently offer, preview new shows coming to the Great White Way, and see some “Broadway-friendly” celebrities.

I find something magical about the concept of taking typically indoor events and putting them outside, surrounded by the sights and sound of the city you live in. Watching a Broadway show in a theatre gives you that controlled environment that theatre requires, but singing along to New York New York in the middle of Times Square? Priceless!

Each year The Broadway League would host Broadway on Broadway. Although the discontinued the event in 2013, I hope that they will bring it back soon, as it is one of the best opportunities to bring Broadway entertainment direct to the street of NYC. I went with Tommy and Kim, Tommy getting VIP access to sit on the famous Red Steps of Times Square.

Amazing weather, amazing entertainment, and amazing friends = Good Life in NYC

Live for Fun, Spread Joy, Get Outside!
