Shows will be returning September 2021!
Broadway has been dark since the start of the covid-19 pandemic in March of 2020, we have been anxiously awaiting the day to see these amazing performers hit the stage once again! We finally have the announcement we have been waiting for Broadway will be dark no longer! Broadway will be returning to New York City and will light up the city once again this September at full capacity.
The announcement happened this morning in Times Square on Good Morning America: Hamilton, Wicked, and The Lion King will be the first to resume Broadway performances beginning September 14. Tickets are now on sale for all three!
Disney later announced that not only one but two of its classics will be returning in September: Aladdin and The Lion King, both of which are frequent frontrunners in the top producing shows.
As stated by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, Broadway shows should reopen at full capacity. With this in mind The Lion King’s opening night is already sold out!! Theater owners are in conjunction with the Broadway League and of course the Department of Health to make sure performers and guests will be safe upon returning. Pilot policies and CDC guidelines are being established to ensure the top priority of safety for everyone. As expected, masks will be a requirement as well as enhanced filtration and health screenings.
Disney’s The Lion King will be returning with performances September 14, 2021.
Disney’s Aladdin will be returning with performances September 28, 2021.
We are over the moon excited to see these performers back on stage again. You can get even more excited with this video below showing a few favorite moments from the performances!
