NEW YORK - Many Broadway productions are scrambling to resume ticket sales in the coming days to welcome theatre-goers this fall after city and state leaders have green-lit a reopening of the Great White Way at full capacity by mid-September. Andrew Cuomo said Broadway theatres can reopen Sept. 14 and will be allowed to decide their own entry requirements, like whether people must prove they’ve been vaccinated to attend a show. Selling tickets will allow theatres to gauge interest before stages open, said Robert Mujica, Cuomo’s budget director. In May, the big budget Disney musical “Frozen” decided not to reopen when Broadway theatres restart, marking the first time an established show had been felled by the coronavirus pandemic. All city theatres abruptly closed on March 12, 2020, knocking out all shows, including 16 that were still scheduled to open.
