2021 Update - Broadway Reopening
On May 3rd, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has announced that most COVID-19 capacity restrictions will be lifted in New York and New Jersey beginning on May 19. That, along with Mayor Bill de Blasio's previous announcement that that New York City plans to "fully reopen" on July 1, means that Broadway is coming back. While shows could start before then, the previously-announced September 1st date is the current target. While some shows will not return, and new ones will be announced, Broadway fans can count on the return of established shows like Wicked, The Lion King, Harry Potter, Six The Musical, The Book of Mormon, Hamilton, Chicago, Moulin Rouge, Phantom of the Opera, Jagged Little Pill, Come From Away, and Dear Evan Hansen. Tickets are currently available on TicketIQ, and more inventory is likely to come onto the market as shows roll out their on-sale schedules.
