New York City to “fully reopen” on 1 July according to Mayor Bill De Blasio

The Mayor of New York Bill De Blasio has today announced that he aims to have the city “fully reopen” on 1 July.

This will see all restrictions lifted across the board including theatres, citing this as a result of the speedy and effective vaccine rollout.

De Blasio is also liaising with the Broadway community to manage crowds before and after shows, with Covid-19 testing sites to be set up around the main theatre district.

Whilst it seems like most productions will not be able to feasibly open until September at the earliest, these are very reassuring signs.
