When Covid shut down dream jobs and the economic engine - an over $15 Billion industry - for one of the greatest cities in the world; performers, composers, ushers and customers alike all had their lives turned upside down when Broadway was forced to go dark. Now, after over 500+ days, Broadway is finally coming back.
