New York social media users visited Twitter on Saturday night in the midst of a power outage that left much of downtown Manhattan in the dark.
Power failure in New York: Pictures of the power outage
Subway passengers stuck in trains at Radio City without light, people used the hashtag #nycblackout to share information and images.
But as crowds in Times Square were driven out of Broadway theaters because of the power outage, some cast members did not let the technical problems ruin their performance. Well-known musical comedy actors "Come From Away", "Waitress" and "Hadestown" have joined bands of people on the streets for an impromptu setting.

Others have been broadcasting newscasts in the dark or have attempted to direct traffic to New York.

More of the #NYCblackout#Blackout from the kitchen of hell. Uneven but functional cell service, empty stores. A guy from a departing wine store (which would probably be an incredibly profitable night if his cash register worked). pic.twitter.com/wAVwwaRuIi

A power failure in New York, but that could not stop the choirs and the Millennium orchestras, creating a makeshift scene right in front of Carnegie Hall. #nycblackoutpic.twitter.com/fPQJzvTS1t
