After an 18-month-long shutdown, the longest in theatre’s history, Broadway is returning in full swing this fall. New shows and classic favorites alike will open and reopen this month, ushering in a new era for Broadway. Beyond the Theatre District, numerous Off-Broadway theatres are celebrating the return to live performances with new in-person productions, and comedy shows, concerts, and more special events are also opening throughout the city.
