There will be masks, at least for the first several months. There will not be social distancing. There are investors ready willing and able to invest on these terms, and audiences ready to show up. No actor will be asked to perform unsafely. Specifically, no actor will even be allowed to show up until fully vaccinated. Producers (which include only a handful of artistic directors on Broadway) are basically irrelevant to the equation. Nothing has been attempted "earlier in the pandemic." By the time the first trickle of productions open/reopen, vaccination will be the standard condition. Before the end of this month, over a third of Manhattanites will have been vaccinated, and if you look at the zip codes that people buy Broadway tickets from (in NYC metro area), the number is significantly higher than that.
Gordon's article is quite good and worthy of reading. It is not confusing nor does it state things incorrectly. I commend it to your attention. |
