25 YEARS AGO!!! A day to never forget. The unexpected heartbreaking tragedy. The lives taken of the innocent souls and our epic American heroes who sacrificed their lives. Their spirit is still with us.

When 9/11 happened, that particular day took a huge major toll everywhere including our very own New York Theater scene. After the surprise destruction of the World Trade Center, Broadway shows cancelled performances for two full nights, as everyone was grieving from the tragic events.

Many people were figuring what would be the future of the world and the Big Apple. The next day on September 12th, 2001, former NYC Mayor Rudolph Giuliani helmed a press conference expressing ways for everyone to go back and live their lives to the fullest, even in such a scary time. One of the things that really inspired him is how the power of the Arts can make a huge impact on people’s lives even in difficult times. The first thing Giuliani spoke out about is encouraging people in New York to witness the uplifting power of a Broadway show, especially a comedy. With that in mind, he reached out to all the Theater owners (including the Shuberts, the Nederlanders, and the Jujamcyns) to get all shows running up again. Even The Broadway League agreed.

On September 13th, 2001, all Broadway shows reopened, exactly 48 hours after the attacks. Because Broadway is popular with tourists, the Audiences in all the theaters were either half-sold-out or empty crowd. Despite all of that, cast, crew, and musicians of all shows went in with their full passion giving the best performances they could. In addition, the casts of all 23 shows that reopened after the attacks, all sang GOD BLESS AMERICA and MY COUNTRY, TIS OF THEE during the curtain call.

With ticket sales not doing so well, Broadway itself was in big financial trouble, as they were relying on tourists. To really encourage tourists to still come to the Big Apple despite being afraid, the Broadway community even agreed with Giuliani that a night in the Theater is the epic medicine everyone needed despite people grieving. On September 28th, 2001, hundreds of Broadway veterans and costumed cast members from some of the “then” shows at the time all came together for a special I LOVE NEW YORK commercial. Out in Times Square, the community belt their hearts out singing Kander and Ebb’s classic NEW YORK, NEW YORK live in Times Square. It was broadcast widely on television and eventually shared in over 20 countries. Tourists got the attention from this commercial which eventually numbers in ticket sales boosted back up.

We happen to have the full length edition of that famous I Love New York commercial featuring some of your favorite Broadway stars including Bernadette Peters, Patti LuPone, Harvey Fierstein, Faith Prince, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Brooke Shields, Bebe Neuwirth, Joel Grey, Nathan Lane, Matthew Broderick, and more, all singing NEW YORK, NEW YORK!

Some of the Broadway shows at the time that participated included….

The Lion King,
The Phantom of the Opera,
The 1998 revival of Cabaret,
The long running revival of Chicago,
The 2000 revival of The Music Man,
Contact,
Beauty and the Beast,
Aida,
Rent,
The Producers,
The original production of Les Miserables,
The 2001 revival of 42nd Street,
& more.

Where were you when 9/11 happened?
Who remembers this I Love New York commercial?

God Bless America!!
🇺🇸 🙏♥️
