Dr. Phillips Center to bring Broadway back in fall 2021

I received the same email. Hope it pans out. Not only do I want to see a couple of shows, but hopefully will finally be able to use my credit that I've had for over a year.

I think they are hoping that by September they will be able to resume. As I stated in other threads, there have been live concerts, comics and musical shows (not Broadway) for months. Mostly "C" shows, but they are selling very good even with high ticket prices. No concerts, as yet, with A listers. But I did read earlier this week, that Miranda Lambert was putting on three shows in Texas in April. Reduced attendance, covid restrictions in place and I'm sure triple the prices. If that goes over well, I'm sure we will see others doing the same.

I am also hearing that the state is looking into ways to safely inch the capacity up a bit, possibly including vaccine verification. If MSG could have 4k the numbers start to look better for high end concerts.

Jordan Catalano said: "As vaccination numbers rise, I’m sure the 10% number will be quickly raised, as well.

I’m curious if requiring proof of vaccination to get into places is going to be the thing that’ll push some of the skeptics to just go and get it."

I would think so, at least to some extent. Nothing is simple so one thing that is going to have to be dealt with before any sort of vaccine passport can be relied on is a way to prevent fraud. This is already an issue with co-morbidities but fraud in getting the vaccine is, while bad, not life threatening to others.

With the exception of some shows, (Lion King, Wicked, Hamilton hasn't played as yet), even after discounts and comps, we can't even get close to 90%. More like 70%. If they're lucky.
