‘Pass Over' to Open Month Before Other Broadway Shows — Full List of Reopening Dates

Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced earlier this month that Broadway shows could return at 100% theater capacity starting Sept. 14; many tickets are already on sale

NBC Universal, Inc.

Broadway will fully reopen its doors this September, welcoming theater-goers from the city and all over the world once again for the first time in 18 months as New York charges forward in its unprecedented pandemic recovery.

Tickets will be made available at 100% theater capacity and went on sale in early May; the first show back starts Aug.4. Productions, theaters and attendees will be subject to the state's health guidance, but that is subject to change as New York's COVID situation -- and that of the country -- improves.

But the question is -- which shows will actually open? And when?

This list will be updated as more shows announce their opening plans:

  • Broadway icons "Hamilton," "Chicago," "Wicked" and "The Lion King" have all announced they will reopen Sept. 14.; tickets for those shows go on sale May 11
  • "Moulin Rouge!" makes its return at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre on Sept. 24
  • Seven-time Tony Award winner "The Phantom of the Opera" will resume shows at its Majestic Theater starting Oct. 22, with tickets going on sale starting May 7
