With more Americans getting vaccinated and COVID positivity rates dropping, the thing we dreamed of all of last year is finally becoming a reality - the end of the pandemic is in sight and plans to return to what we consider "normal" are starting to get timelines.
Including one for Broadway.
Governor Andrew Cuomo has announced that Broadway theaters can reopen at full capacity on September 14th - as long as they can guarantee social distancing and their plans are approved. So it's very unlikely all of Broadway will reopen in September. In fact, at least one show has already announced it will reopen in October - The Phantom of the Opera.
I anticipate that shows will continue to announce their re-openings over the coming weeks and I'll try to keep a running timeline of when the shows will return.
Here's the timeline so far:
Chicago - September 14th
Six the Musical - previews resume September 17th, opening night is October 3rd
The Phantom of the Opera - October 22
Diana the Musical - previews resume December 1st, opening night is December 16th
The Music Man - previews begin December 20th, opening night is February 10, 2022
You can start purchasing tickets for these shows with the exception of The Music Man now. I'll keep updating this as more shows announce their plans.
Intermission is almost over, everyone. Just be a little more patient.
