After making your way through Times Square's sea of Elmos in need of dry cleaning and super heroes less-than-heroically pressuring tourists for bigger tips, you're bound run into one of the delightful young ladies sporting bowler hats and Fosse finery handing out flyers for the hit Broadway revival of Chicago.
One such jazzy lady, Allison Martin, wrote, directed and stars in this beautiful video, #Unafraid, released by the marketing agency theatreMAMA, about the strength of New Yorkers to not be afraid of ISIS threats of terrorist strikes in New York.
As Allison spends her work days mingling with strangers in one of the world's most popular tourist centers, she eyes them with love, not suspicion, and does not let fear dictate her life.

Set amidst the razzle-dazzle decadence of the 1920s, Chicago is the story of Roxie Hart, a housewife and nightclub dancer who murders her on-the-side lover after he threatens to walk out on her. Desperate to avoid conviction, she dupes the public, the media and her rival cellmate, Velma Kelly, by hiringChicago's slickest criminal lawyer to transform her malicious crime into a barrage of sensational headlines, the likes of which might just as easily be ripped from today's tabloids.
