    You are there: Break Out in Song

    Posted in Upstaged by Adam Feldman on July 17th, 2009 at 4:45 pm

    Two days ago we told you about Break Out in Song, a fun project that aims to surprise New Yorkers with public explosions of musical theater. Yesterday, the Time Warner Center was the site of the first of the week’s four planned numbers: Sweet Charity’s “If My Friends Could See Me Now.” TONY designer Marc Whalen, a friend of one of the dancers involved, was there—and took a few casual pictures of the event, which you can flip through above. “The unsuspecting shoppers rewarded the performers with explosive applause,” Whalen reports, adding that the pseudo-impromptu musical number “left its large crowd thrilled and wanting more.” If you want to be part of the fun, you have two more chances: Break Out in Song is scheduled to perform the title number from Anything Goes at the Intrepid tomorrow at 3pm, and “Consider Yourself” from Oliver! in front of the Marriott Marquis hotel in Times Square on Sunday at 1pm. Out of the piano bars and into the streets!
