There were signs -- dim in the death and dying and amid so much grief -- but signs of better days to come. The weapons against COVID-19 were getting stronger.

NEW YORK CITY (WABC) -- On Saturday there was another display of Broadway's slow revival.

'New York Pops Up" hosted its second performance at a Broadway theater. This week's performance featured cast members from hits like West Side Story, Dear Evan Hansen, and Hamilton.

A series of ten shows began last week with a performance at the St. James Theatre with Nathan Lane and tap dancer Savion Glover.

The Theater District is the heart of New York City, and Saturday's pop-up performance at the St. James Theatre was another step in the right direction.

The shows are being used as a template to get Broadway back open, hopefully in September.
