ovid cases are serious enough to shut down the “Aladdin” Broadway show – for a day.

For over a year and a half, Broadway has been closed due to the Covid-19 virus, but starting this month, many Broadway classics are returning to the stage with some safety measures in place. Earlier this summer, some productions were already back on stage such as “Springsteen on Broadway” and “Pass Over.”

The 2019 film ‘Cats,’ adapted from the classic Broadway show of the same name, was not only a box office failure, but it received poor reviews as well. The film was often called “the worst film of 2019” despite its star-studded casts such as Jennifer Hudson, Taylor Swift, Ian McKellen, Judi Dench, and many more.

Broadway star Jordan Fisher announced on Tuesday that he will guest star on the upcoming episode of the Disney+ hit series, ‘High School Musical: The Musical: The Series,’ which is coming out this Friday.

There are still movie theaters that are closed due to the pandemic despite COVID restrictions being loosened.

When Little Shop of Horrors resumes its run at the Westside Theatre on Sept. 21, Broadway favorite and Tony Award nominee for Newsies and Waitress, Jeremy Jordan, will play Seymour.

The pandemic has caused devastating job losses in many fields, and the theater industry is no exception. As an industry that relies almost entirely on live interaction and large gatherings, theater took a heavy hit when the lockdown phase of the pandemic began.

The show is going on – this time, in person! In a press conference two weeks ago, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said that he expects Broadway and off-Broadway shows to reopen by September

Five days ago, Feb. 7, marked the one-year anniversary of the last time I set foot in a theatre. I went to go see “The Scottsboro Boys” by the Baldwin Wallace University Music Theatre Program & the Beck Center for the Arts with my arts critics’ circle (aka one of the best English/journalism courses I’ve ever taken) and went on an emotional rollercoaster that allowed me to connect more with my African American heritage and developed me as a writer.
