"We will be back!" a dozen singers proclaimed in the middle of New York's Times Square, in a pop-up event commemorating the one-year anniversary of Broadway going dim. A clear sense of optimism filled the air -- despite the "Closed" signs still darkening the doors of nearby theaters.
With the latest wave of Covid-19 now under control, amid a massive vaccination program and as some theaters partially reopen, New York is "definitely starting to get some more life right now," said Ryann Redmond, who performed in the musical "Frozen" before the pandemic forced Broadway's closing on March 12, 2020.
