Broadway on Broadway Postponed In Honor of 9/11 Anniversary

The annual outdoor concert in Times Square, Broadway on Broadway, which has in the past taken place on the Sunday after Labor Day, has been postponed this year in honor of the tenth anniversary of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.

The Broadway community will instead mark the 9/11 anniversary by gathering in Duffy Square on Friday, September 9, at 4pm to sing John Kander and Fred Ebb’s “New York, New York.” The event is being held in conjunction with the “I Will” campaign, which seeks to encourage millions of people to perform good deeds, support charitable causes, and volunteer in tribute to the 9/11 victims and survivors, and all those that rose in service in response to the attacks.

In related news, The Broadway League is planning a special 20th Anniversary edition of Broadway on Broadway for Fall, 2012.
