Gov. Cuomo: Broadway Can Be 100 Percent Capacity in September

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Wednesday that Broadway theaters will be able to reopen at 100% capacity starting Sept. 14, with tickets to go on sale Thursday, the New York Post reports.

The Broadway League wrote in a statement on Twitter:

"With guidance from Governor Andrew Cuomo, based on current health trends and subject to continuing improvement of public health and vaccination rates, as well as the state's final approval of each theatre operator's health and safety protocols, the Broadway League announces that Broadway shows in New York City will resume ticket sales this month for Fall 2021 performances."

"The shows open Sept. 14," the governor said during a press conference in Manhattan, CBS New York reported. "That's a function of how Broadway operates, obviously. They have to have a play to put on."
