Broadway ? Reopening

[Cooper]

I’m sure we’ll soon be hearing dates for the re-opening of Broadway ?Shows. NY Gov. Cuomo lifted the ban on all entertainment as of May 19th. ??

 

“New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo upstaged the Broadway League on Monday. Industry insiders expectedthe trade organization, which represents theater owners and producers, to say that some Broadway shows would reopen in September with more coming back during the fall. But at a press conference Cuomo beat them to it, lifting most capacity restrictions on restaurants, bars, museums, gyms, salons and retail shops by May 19. That list also included Broadway.”

Looking forward to re-opening of Broadway. A friend of mine told me in Las Vegas they are planning to fully re-open entertainment venues100% by June. Even my business trips will resume starting in September onwards with live conferences planned for the rest of the year.

2nd Stage is selling discounted tickets to be used when Broadway re-opens. Hopefully, they will get Take Me Out back on stage sooner than later ?

Bad idea to lift capacity restrictions while most art museum maintain restrictions.

The sooner I can get back to an early dinner at La Boite en Bois and make the 8 o'clock curtain, the better.

I think it’s funny watching the whole “quien es mas macho” that’s been playing out between deBlasio and Cuomo throughout all this Covid craziness. This is just the latest installment.

 

Even when he says capacity restrictions are ending 5/17, and NY is back to 100%, he’s also saying out of the other side of his mouth that all CDC guidelines still need to be adhered to - so social distancing, masks are still in effect for indoor venues. Given how tightly you’re packed in at Broadway theatres, I’m not sure how financially viable putting on a show while maintaining 6ft social distance would be.

 

I found it interesting Cuomo did throw out that if/when CDC changes the guidance, so will he - is he banking on a lowering of social distance coming?

 

Also interesting that he said the indoor venues could make their own decisions as to whether to require vaccinations to attend events. If a show or event was limited to just vaccinated, my understanding is that you’re not required to maintain the 6ft. Game changer?

 

Of course, the grumblings are all about how Cuomo, under pressure from multiple investigations, is only trying to rehabilitate his image, deflect from the investigations. But surely a politician wouldn’t be that opportunistic, right? ?

Who needs a date to the theatre?

Woah woah woah studsicle... Big Nick's is literally a hole in the wall (with amazing french toast) and as long as you can snag the res, Raos is intimate and casual (I've worn joggers in there before).

 

However, I'd meet you at WC anytime.

Hmmm - I'll pickup a Whataburger in a Texas Airport Terminal on my way to NYC over a WC anytime.

 

I'm looking forward to Broadway reopening too.

I’ll be spending the whole month of November in NYC. This is good news indeed!

I can compromise. But i'll carry a few WC sliders in my LV purse, just in case , because my go-to WC on 8th Ave permanantly Closed !
