WARM UP THE STAGE LIGHTS BECAUSE BROADWAY IS BACK.

THE FIRST PLAY IN MORE THAN A YEAR WILL TAKE THE STAGE IN SEPTEMBER. IT’S A NEW PLAY CALLED, PASS OVER. THIS WEEK PREVIEW PERFORMANCES HAVE STARTED.

WHILE BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN HAS BEEN PLAYING SINCE JUNE.

DINNER AND A SHOW IS BACK BUT WITH CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS.

IN ORDER TO ATTEND, AUDIENCE MEMBERS NEED TO SHOW PROOF OF VACCINATION AND GUEST WITH MEDICAL CONDITIONS OR UNDER THE AGE OF 12 MUST HAVE NEGATIVE COVID RESULTS.

EVEN WITH VACCINATIONS AUDIENCE MEMBERS MUST WEAR MASKS.

SINCE BROADWAY WENT DARK MORE THAN A YEAR AGO, ABOUT ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND PEOPLE LOST THEIR JOBS AND THE ECONOMY LOST ABOUT FIFTEEN BILLION DOLLARS.

IN SOME CASES, CAREERS WERE RUINED. ACTOR LAURA LEIGH TURNER FROM THE MEAN GIRLS MUSICAL WAS ON HER WAY TO THE TOP WHEN THE PANDEMIC SHUT EVERYTHING DOWN. THE SHOW ANNOUNCED THEY WILL NOT BE RETURNING TO BROADWAY… ENDING HER “PLASTICS” CAREER SOONER THAN EXPECTED.

NATIONAL BROADWAY TOURS RESUMED WITH THE MUSICAL, WICKED BEING THE FIRST. IT STARTS THIS MONTH IN DALLAS.

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT BROADWAY TURNING THEIR LIGHTS BACK ON?
