We here at BroadwayWorld know that sometimes social-distancing can get you down. With the theatre industry at a standstill, many of us are craving some trademark musical theatre merriment to keep our spirits up while keeping ourselves and others safe.

Each day, we're picking an optimistic Broadway anthem to cure your isolation blues. If there were ever a time to take these messages to heart, it's now. Just because Broadway is dark, doesn't mean our days have to be!

So try not to get worried and join us for a few minutes each day to hear the people sing, put on a happy face, and remember that the sun will come out tomorrow...and all that jazz.

We're all in a bit of a tight spot right now and if we've learned anything from Wicked its that when your back is against the wall and hope seems lost, you don't back down - you make some magic and learn to fly in spite of it all. Today, tap into your inner Elphaba, close your eyes, and transcend your circumstances with 'Defying Gravity'.
