Without a doubt, Broadway has been New York City’s bright, beating heart for decades. No visit to NYC is complete without grabbing an iconic Playbill and being mesmerized by a Broadway show in midtown Manhattan’s Theatre District.

Beginning September 14, Broadway will reopen to fully vaccinated guests (any vaccine approved by the FDA in the US or the World Health Organization) and resume performances on a rolling basis. From classic performances to the new generation of shows, New York City offers something for everyone.

Forbes reports that audience members not eating or drinking must wear a mask, and that all seats will be made available for sale.
