Broadway lights the way for NY recovery

The lights will be coming back on in New York's Broadway theater district as sales for plays have started after the coronavirus pandemic forced a curtain call that lasted more than a year.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced on May 5 theaters would be allowed to have 100 percent capacity for shows starting on Sept 14.

"Broadway is at the core of our New York identity and a big part of our economy with employees, countless performers and show creators, and beginning this September, the show will go on," he said.
