Check Out These Broadway Videos from the New York City Blackout!

July 14, 2019 by TodayTix

Blackout, blackout! On July 13, around 7:00PM, the Hell’s Kitchen, Upper West Side, and Theatre District neighborhoods of New York City experienced a blackout that forced Broadway to close. But in true theater community fashion, the show must go on (within reason and insurance protocol of course.)

Check out these performances that took to the streets (or went on) during the blackout. Let’s go on with the show.

Remember that time the power went out in NYC and @sherierenescott and @NorbertLButz just kept going at @54Below? The show must go on, y’all. #blackout #NYCblackout pic.twitter.com/0m0wQOinlH

I guess this is what they call a New York moment. After being trapped on the F for an hour because of the power outage I emerged to see dark restaurants & traffic lights, civilians directing traffic, & an evacuated Carnegie Hall concert happening in the street. #nyc #Blackout pic.twitter.com/3p9UWtRrel
