There are many a high profile Broadway actor currently in shows that closed scattered across the country. None of them have given an indication of an imminent plan to return. Some have gone so far as to say there are no details and they anticipate returning to NYC in the fall at the earliest."
Yes the reopenings (and openings) will stretch from fall through spring, and yes there are many people currently out of pocket who have not been told to return. (One such person is my neighbor and they have been gone for the duration, eager to return, but not just to sit in their apartment and wait.) This repeats in lots of buildings and will evolve over the next year. Re social distancing, you are correct that it is not an aspect of Broadway reopening. As I said, the key is vaccinations, with testing essentially as a clumsy and expensive backup, and technology to make the requirement seamlessly verified. We will be there when we need to be there.
And yes, the other critical key is getting folks in the right mentality.
