For years, accessibility at Broadway theatres has been a challenge, with issues ranging from a limited supply of wheelchair-accessible seating inside the theatres to a lack of accommodations at box office counters. Broadway theatre operators have long pledged to make their facilities more ADA compliant. The company agreed to provide 70 additional wheelchair-accessible seating locations and 134 more aisle transfer seating locations, and to eliminate more than 500 barriers to accessibility at its theatres. And the return to more in-person performances at theatres has revived concerns over theatre accessibility and fears that the pandemic-era accessibility may be lost. In New York City, theatre operators have said they are making strides at improving the in-person experience for those who need assistance.
