Here are the 10 best moments from the RiseUpNewYork telethon
The children of P.S. 22's chorus in Staten Island then sang"Rise Up," individual videos of them singing woven together to create a seamless performance."Nobody comes to New York to be alone, I certainly didn't," admitted the rocker, dressed in a plain white T-shirt."But even if you're in self-isolation, you are not alone. Were all in this together; we'll make it through together.
"Live performances will most likely be the last industry to come back after this nightmare, but we will come back," said Lupone, who was starring inwhen Gov. Andrew Cuomo shut down Broadway in March due to COVID-19."The lights of Broadway, now dimmed, will shine again on those beautiful houses because the show must -- and will -- go on."
"When I see Broadway darkened, it makes me ache for not only my own soul, but the soul of New York," said Tony winner McDonald."It's such a part of what makes New York tick, it's its heartbeat." Lin-Manuel Miranda, Andrew Rannells, Ben Platt, Chris Jackson, Cynthia Erivo, Idina Menzel and Karen Olivo then performed an uplifting and rousing rendition of"New York, New York," with each person singing from home, and the performance brought together via Zoom.
