One of the highlights of this weekend's Curtain Up Festival was the return of ¡Viva! Broadway, a concert featuring some of Broadway's brightest Latine stars. The special concert, subtitled Aquí y Allá (Here and There), was held September 9 on the Curtain Up MainStage in Duffy Square. The three-day festival celebrated all things Broadway with sing-alongs, performances from your favorite Broadway stars, and more. Playbill, The Broadway League, and the Times Square Alliance have brought the outdoor experience back for a third year, presented by Prudential Financial with additional support from the NYC Mayor's Office of Media and Entertainment, Music Performance Trust Fund, The Film Fund, Open Jar Studios, and Hotel Edison.  

¡Viva! Broadway, Aquí y Allá (Here and There) was conceived and directed by Luis Salgado, and celebrates musical theatre history—from the inspiration of early songwriters to the authentic voices and stories of Broadway today. It featured musical direction by Jaime Lozano and a script by Eric Ulloa.
