On Saturday, just over a year since Covid-19 shuttered Broadway, three-time Tony winner Nathan Lane and Tony-winning choreographer Savion Glover performed before an audience at the St James Theatre, marking the first time since Broadway's closure that the door to one of its houses opened.

As part of the NY PopsUp event series, Lane and Glover performed for a gathering of less than 150 staffers from The Actors Fund and Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. Prior to Broadway's shutdown on March 12 last year, the St James was home to Disney's musical, Frozen.
