"A Moment for Broadway" - Times Square NYCNext

[@jhasker3356]

I miss theatre. I miss live music. I miss art. Thank you, all, for this inspiring video!!

[@codent]

Years ago, I learned a valuable lesson. I had thought that a big, professional Broadway production wouldn't be THAT much better than some local theater. It was a revival of "42nd st", in a refurbished theater, and I can't even express properly how when you do it right, it's on another level. I was blown away, from beginning to end.

[@ellenw391]

Me too! I so miss folks would start figuring out how to do proper covid protocols (like the West Wing cast did for their recent staged production of a former episode), film it and just charge a reasonable amount to watch the stream. They could charge $5 to $10, get millions of views, earn money and give us the arts back! I could see Broadway shows, musicians, even comics doing this. I thought by now they would have figured it out!

[@Anita-re8vn]

Me too..💖

[@napili00]

@@ellenw391 They have! I watch the live-streams to help out the Broadway community in some small way...

[@ellenw391]

I wonder if it's the same ones I have found which were insanely overpriced? And where you had to join a membership. I had major surgery and only been cleared to start rehabilitation PR 3 weeks before the blasted pandemic hit. So needless to say I haven't worked in a bit. Plus I would think the secret to earning huge bux is to make it affordable to all versus price gouging the few. But sadly too many online don't get that concept. By the way what seems like ages ago I used to do PR, so I know a little bit about this LOL

[@decadencewhimsyandsarcasm]

I have to imagine everyone on those steps is just reveling in getting to do this song with Bernadette goddamn Peters. just gorgeous

[@puck1724]

In other clips, whoever is the woman adjacent to Bernadette (is it Carolee?) when she sings her solo line outs her hands over her heart in utter awe of her presence

[@TheJuanitaperez025]

Chills . Let’s get our country back to normal . These talented people deserve to be on the stage . ❤️❤️❤️😍

[@sondersighs]

For every person consenting, I would like to give a hug as a broken theatre kid. Hope you all are doing well

[@lauralewandowski3813]

Let's ALL make life beautiful every minute that we have!

[@TheSweetForever]

I hope everyone who works for Broadway, is getting through this time. That sucks to have your dream job on hold or canceled. Can’t wait to support the theatre again. Love musicals.

[@Salutz1031]

i dont know how you all got through singing this...brought me to tears.

[@KT-sq2ml]

Same here

[@sarahbell4244]

Today marks one year since I’ve seen a broadway show and this performance just brought me to tears. The chills that I have just from hearing this makes me yearn for the day that broadway comes back and the lights go back up.

[@robertgraziano]

Broadway Now And Forever. New York Now And Forever!!!!!!!

[@priyac7054]

Makes me wanna cry!!! MAY all the all splendid superiority be back VERY SOOON

[@Greg-fs2rh]

This just gave me goose bumps. Excellent arrangement.

[@dankohdirect]

Omg 😭😭😭 I miss singing together with other humans. Desperately.

[@janetpaquette9732]

Geoffrey Awards 2021 closing number with THIS arrangement would be epic!

[@ilenebroadwaybaby6307]

Can't stop crying, I miss Broadway SO MUCH!

[@jumpscreamshout]

Love. Love. Love. 🌻

[@napili00]

This must have been an especially thankful day for the folks here, like Gavin, who battled COVID-19 and made it to the other side!

[@TheDramaMama]

Broadway, we miss you too!! We love you all, we need you in our lives, and we will see you again very soon!!

[@theatreartsbroadway6201]

Broadway will come back stronger!

SONDHEIM GIVES US HOPE.....THROUGH THESE DARK TIMES MOTHER EARTH HAS DELIVERED ......LIKE GEORGE IN SUNDAY IN THE PARK WE HAVE COURAGE......LIVING AND LOVING IN CAPE TOWN SOUTH AFRICA......ON AN ORDINARY SUNDAY.

[@masteractor]

This gave me chills. In a good way.

[@samosullivan1744]

Truly brought tears to my eyes, and I rarely cry! I miss theatre so much. It’s my life.

[@kathleenscullion8348]

Magnificent. I worked on original production. Like Sondheim 80th birthday,this rendition resonates through the emotions of today. Vive l'theater.

[@dexterwatson7094]

This has stirred my emotions on so many levels. BEAUTIFUL! My favorite Sondheim song. I cried.

[@AmyLynnSmith]

This is so stunning I can't stop watching and listening to it. The joy of music on Broadway again! Thank you to everyone. Kudos to whoever created the arrangement (my guess is Tom Kitt, who with his amazing arrangements for 'Jagged Little Pill' has become my new idol. Love to all involved.

[@pumpkinomom4446]

No matter how many times I watch this, I get goosebumps all over my body! So powerfull!!

[@pauljacobs3585]

So very wonderful - all of us at Broadway Rose Theatre Company in Tigard, OR thank you. As we wait desperately to perform ourselves, we needed this.

[@Isa-qz9mb]

This is incredible! The theatre community has had strughles but we've always come back stronger

[@gregorybailey1824]

Thank you all for the magic xxx

[@johern]

Thank you for sharing this with us have tears running down my face, and it’s been a good five minutes since I played this video, I miss hearing live performances, I miss hearing the human voice in this way, god bless everyone in this group, sharing your voice, sharing your hearts, i very much appreciate your outpouring of love to us all ❤️❤️❤️

[@3zadam]

i hope we can get back to normal soon, love this!

[@camismith1926]

Well! That just TOTALLY brightened my day! Thank you. 💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@RockerH2526]

It’s scary to think we may never get theatre back. These talented and severely unemployed people need help now! Wear your damn masks people! Keep socially distant! Just do your part so we can get live entertainment back!

[@madeleinesundgren6457]

Thank you Broadway for all unforgetable experiences you have given me over the years..

[@rainyreverie8550]

This makes me realize how much I need music

[@mikeo.6915]

Such beautiful voices and incredible spirits you all have. I miss seeing you so much and while my heart breaks for the theater community, I hope this is “...Just Intermission...” and hope to see you all soon. Stay safe!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@carolebenson2251]

Hope to see you on Broadway safely before too long. How I miss the thrill of live theatre. Stay safe and keep rehearsing. 🎹🎶🎼🎵😷🥂😘💕😊🎼

[@queenieblue93]

Would download this arrangement in a heartbeat

[@AlphaandOmegaandBeyond]

I get so emotional by just watching this. This pandemic has caused so much trouble to many lives but we will endure. We will get our lives back. We have lost some of our family members, friends or someone we know but this should not deter us from living. Instead, it should serve as an inspiration to us to be better and to take care of each other. May we all get past this. Sending prayers of safety and strength to anyone who read this.

I Iove Sunday, Sondheim incredible

2 blocks from my house. Breaks my heart for Broadway 💔💔💔

[@charhed]

SO BEAUTIFUL🥺 Thanks for sharing the video. I really miss theaters and live music..

[@hollyavillella554]

This is beautiful and moving. It's concerning. I don't think the performers are really protected though there's ventilation. Much compassion for the distress of all artists and the gifts they share to make humankind better. 🧡

BRAVO!

[@marissasifre9026]

This gives so much love and hope. 💜

[@rafaelbaez3878]

Did the guy filming this not realize Bernadette Peters was in the far left corner of him. She literally took the solo note. Otherwise amazing performance!!

[@anneahlefeld1989]

There is another video somewhere with mostly the left side of the stage. I saw that one first.

[@katierotuno8600]

BRB sobbing.

[@eshevin]

I rate it a 65. It's got order, design, tension, balance, and harmony, and you can dance to it.

[@RIVERKINGERIC]

Beautiful song, great job, singers. Have you people seriously not reopened your theaters up there yet? We just had our 161st State Fair here in Mississippi in October, and the numbers have remained low and manageable, with recovery rate high and fast. Covid will always be here in this rotten world, like the pollution, poverty, and riots that we all know and love. It, like those other far worse world problems, is never going away under man's management. Get on with your lives and open your businesses and go back to work so you can make a difference; and be responsible and take care of your health. Covid is not destroying your lives and economy, you are.

[@songstress997]

Bravoooo!!

[@LipstickLisa123]

whoever filmed this didn't know who Bernadette Peters was...didn't even show her during her solo

[@rickmortensen2]

This is beautiful, but doesn’t the person filming know who Bernadette Peters is?!! She’s the Broadway legendwho took the solo line at the end. And originated the role of dot on Broadway. The one you completely left out of frame.

[@guidonapp7590]

Right? Unbelievable!!!!

[@w42st38]

There was a statue of Father Duffy between me and Bernadette Peters 😢

[@Greg-fs2rh]

@@w42st38 was it not possible to position yourself to include her from the other side of the statue? You had her in frame and then panned away from her while she was singing!

[@Babaryutaikai]

And Carolee Carmello behind Bernadette and Norm Lewis to her right.

[@w42st38]

​@@Greg-fs2rh The space to that side was crowded with organizers and TV crews. You can see the official video when it comes out with multiple cameras from the organizers at NYCNEXT - instagram.com/p/CGFrRSTDX2D/. Just me and iPhone... and wanted to get the surprise brass band at the end (which was on my side). Thx for commenting :)

[@ellenw391]

Am I the only one that can't find Bernadette Peters?

[@robcunningham7837]

She is on the left side. You see her quickly when she does her solo

[@ellenw391]

@@robcunningham7837 Thanks. I found a much less viewed video that showed more of her, and even talked to legend Joel Grey, who was there (can't tell by this video). He looked amazing for 90 BTW!

[@hannahglanzman1063]

I love this video. So special. Where are their masks? Face shields are not masks

[@tidalvii8640]

You can’t sing really with mask on so a face shield is the next best thing

[@williamgardiner2010]

It would be impossible to sing Sondheim’s Sunday with a mask on let along get the harmonies right. The shields are effective at blocking the moisture drops being projected forward.

[@moneymindss]

Glad they're doing what they love, but a face shield is not the same thing as a face mask and vertically they're not six feet away. Hope everyone stays safe.

[@90majestic]

Screw social distancing. This is theater. How would they be able to sing with a face mask over their mouths. You better run and report them to DiBlasio so they can all be arrested and contact traced.

[@MediaLover194]

It's hard to sing and be heard while wearing a mask.

It's too bad they thought they needed to "American Idolize" the song.
