Last year, New York City’s Broadway theaters went dark by order of Governor Andrew Cuomo. On March 12, the order went into effect, allowing theaters to reopen and performances to resume the week of April 13 — However, this did not turn out to be the case.

Here we are, nearly one year later, and Broadway performances are still on hold due to the ongoing pandemic.
