Broadway requiring audiences to be vaccinated
Broadways shows are back on, but you're going to have to be vaccinated and bring along proof if you want to get into the theater.
NEW YORK - With Broadway shows suspended since March 2020 due to the pandemic, theatergoers are eager to return to the Great White Way.
Ticket sales were allowed to resume in August with shows permitted to begin in September. Many productions have announced their opening and reopening dates and locations.
Keep in mind that all Broadway theaters in New York City require proof of COVID vaccination. Masks must also be worn. For the latest safety protocols, visit BroadwayLeague.com.
