Throughout the pandemic, headlines claimed “New York is Dead.” However, upon visiting Times Square, one of my favorite photographic haunts, I was greeted with quite the contrary. The area was brimming with life. In this instance, it was not the usual well-heeled theater crowd and throngs of foreign tourists populating the streets but rather people who came from other parts of the country as well as New Yorkers themselves. Calls for “Showtime!” ricocheted and rang out which espoused great impromptu performances of dance and acrobatic feats, accompanied by hard beats from boom boxes. Tinged with nostalgia, the encounter felt like a flashback to the 1980’s where break dancers would fill the streets to twist away their troubles. Times Square did not disappoint. In fact it gave countless opportunities to create compositions from chaos. In this photograph life appears to be thriving, even though theaters were dark at the time. Unburdened by the hurdles of Broadway production, a group of dancers perform, underscoring the adage that no matter what, “The Show Must go On.”
