ICYMI: Broadway puts on the razzle dazzle this month after an unprecedented 18-month shutdown, hoping that Americans have missed live theatre as much as actors and producers
A rousing video promotion by Oprah Winfrey, a television special, refundable tickets, and a week of outdoor performances in New York's Times Square will highlight the 18 musicals and five plays that open over the next few weeks.
Protocols agreed with unions, producers, and the New York city authorities stipulate that actors, audiences, musicians and backstage staff must be vaccinated against the coronavirus and audiences must wear masks, but capacity at venues is not limited.earlier this year, with closures, changes in quarantine rules and limited capacity at venues.
"I'm encouraged that as soon as the shows announced , people started buying tickets. That gives me hope that the appetite is still there to gather in the dark and tell stories," said Lin-Manuel Miranda, creator of the award-winning musical "Hamilton." With many foreign tourists still barred from visiting the United States, producers are hoping that people living in or near New York will fill seats.
Actors, most of whom have been out of work since March 2020, are overjoyed at returning. Jewelle Blackman, a member of the "Hadestown" cast, said the first day of rehearsals was intense.
