What Do We Know About Broadway's COVID-19 Protocols and Refund Policies?

Broadway is officially back! Everything we know and love about live theater is once again possible thanks to health and safety protocols that have been instilled by the Broadway League since its reopening in September of 2021, as well as the care and cooperation of Broadway's audience members.

Beginning July 1, the owners and operators of all 41 Broadway theatres in New York City adopted a "mask optional" policy. Audience members are still encouraged to wear masks in theatres.

Audience masking protocols for August and beyond will be evaluated on a monthly basis.
