Curtain Up to celebrate Broadway’s triumphant return with 3-day festival in Times Square

NEW YORK — Get ready to give your regards to Broadway: Curtain Up, a three-day festival celebrating the return and revival of theater heads back to Times Square at the end of the month.

This free, live and interactive celebration of one of New York City’s most beloved attractions — by tourists and New Yorkers alike — kicks off on Sept. 30. More than 15 events are scheduled to take place on two stages around Times Square: Duffy Square, at 46th Street and Seventh Avenue, and on Broadway between 45th and 48th streets.

Theater enthusiasts will be able to participate in “Chicago” and “Wicked” singalongs; dance with Alvin Ailey’s dancers in the “Revelation” workshop; enjoy dueling piano showdowns in one of the world’s most famous intersections; and watch the first-ever “Playbill: The Game Show,” where theater’s brightest stars will prove how much they know about Broadway.
