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. Governor Andrew Cuomo announced the NY PopsUp initiative in February as a way to ease theatre-starved New Yorkers back into the performing arts. Since, NY PopsUp has featured performers like Amy Schumer, Jon Batiste and Patti Smith, as well as Broadway's Gavin Creel and Shoshana Bean, at impromptu events around the city. Nathan Lane performs 'Playbills' by Paul Rudnick at the St James Theatre during an event hosted by NY PopsUp, for Broadway's first performance since shutting down.
