¡Viva! Broadway returns in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month with a special concert presentation of Aquí y Allá (Here and There) on Saturday, September 9th from 5:00 PM – 6:30 PM in Duffy Square. The event is organized by Playbill, The Broadway League, and the Times Square Alliance, as part of the Curtain Up! LIVE from Broadway finale concert which will conclude the third-annual Curtain Up Broadway Festival, a three-day outdoor experience in Times Square.

It’s presented by title sponsor Prudential Financial, with additional support from the NYC Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment, Music Performance Trust Fund, The Film Fund, Open Jar Studios, and Hotel Edison.

¡Viva! Broadway celebrates the dynamic influence that Latin and Hispanic artists have had on the art form of Broadway. Conceived and directed by Luis Salgado, the concert is a celebration of history from the inspiration of early songwriters to the authentic voices and stories of Broadway today and features musical direction by Jaime Lozano and is written by Eric Ulloa.

Salgado is an award-winning international director, choreographer and educator from Puerto Rico, based in New York City. For this production he has created a fusion with Broadway and Latino musical sounds challenging the status quo in the middle of Times Square. It is a vision that will transform you from here and there; to kick off the Hispanic Heritage month.
