It’s just very confusing. Especially with the announcement today that Colbert will start taping in front of full unmasked (vaccinated) audiences in just a couple weeks.
Could not agree more.
I could be remembering wrong but aren't all capacity restrictions lifted with proof of vaccination or negative test? Plus as has been stated Sept. 14 was just listed as a ticket on sale date, not an official 100% capacity date. I doubt there will be capacity restrictions for this.
Patrick has stated he fully intends on coming back. Everyone else is up in the air

Incorrect.

Not incorrect. That's just how the article decided to phrase what he said. All he said was tickets go on sale for 100% capacity today. He also alludes to that date being because Broadway needs to prepare to come back, not because of capacity reasons.
Sutton Ross said: "Very cool, shows can open now they just refuse to because they would lose money. Understandable. But, it's very cool that Hadestown will have limited capacity, making it pretty special and SPACIOUS for their audience.
Or,Gov might move up the date anytime, who knows."
Shows have always been able to put tickets on sale for any date they want , and that's all Cuomo "announced." He made it clear that what he was doing was conveying their stated intention to ticket starting the 14th. It is also clear (based on the sports venues and now the Ed Sullivan) that vaccinated audiences can now sit without distancing. What remains to be determined, as I see it, is how to handle the vaccination issues in Broadway houses, something that requires not just the state but also the unions. As of yesterday, 91% of the adults (85% overall) in, e.g., 10036 have at least 1 vaccine shot. I hope and expect that the unvaccinated idiots will find no welcome mat for their stupidity.

Afra Hines and Tim Hughes (the tall bearded guy with the arms) in the ensemble have posted the return announcement, and one of three Fates (Jewelle Blackman)…

It states that "Theaters can reopen at 100% capacity starting on September 14". We see things differently and that's fine. Things will definitely change in the coming months though.

And again, the article is incorrect. Here are some other words from Cuomo
“They have to produce a play before they can sell the play, but from capacity point of view they can all reopen on May 19.”
Cool story bro. You have your view, I have mine. Period. Have a good day!

Actually, Sutton, having relied on a sloppy TV news story that is dead wrong, you are dead wrong, and your intransigence in the face of demonstrable proof [if you don't believe the messengers here, go to @NYGovCuomo on Twitter and see for yourself] is not a good look. (And as long as I am giving unsolicited advice, petulance is not a good look either.)
Hahahaha. Nah, but maybe have another drink and announce that OJ Simpson is dead again because that was hilarious. I don't take advice from lushes. Thanks though. Have a good day!
Yay!!! Best news to wake up to this morning! I had tickets for last spring so super excited I can finally think about planning again!!!

Wonderful news!
She expressed a lot of mixed feelings during a tequila fueled livestream a couple weeks ago - eg “yeah, I’d love to have a job again and be able to pay rent” mixed with her clear concerns as one of the more outspoken about the cultural reformation actors want.
I’m glad to hear this because she’s one of my absolute favorite performers and hope it means positive momentum on the cultural issues may be happening behind he scenesz

Not sure how a local CBS news affiliate's article could trump the actual words coming from the Governor who decides this stuff, but i think its all fluid and no one (including the Hadestown team) really knows.
This is a show I'd be thrilled to see again, even though I was hoping for some new blood in the cast. Great news.

Fabulous! She's so fantastic in the show. They all are, truly.
Eva is so special. I am very happy she will be back. I hope everyone can return!

The difference between you and me is that when I say something that's wrong, I admit it. Truly sad that you can't.

Kay Trinidad looks to be in late pregnancy so wouldn’t expect her. She was such a wonderful and expressive actor as part of the amazing Fates!
Yes, Kay is such a talent. Im glad I got to see the OG cast in the Fall of 2019.

Pre COVID it was rumored that Amber was leaving and Kimberly Marable was to take over as Persephone. I’m interested in who’s returning and who’s coming in new.

May just be wishful thinking on my part, but i'd imagine Amber will return, at least for a few months, in order to give her proper 'goodbye' to the show

I’ve seen it three times, twice with the full cast of original principals and once with full ex- Marable in for Amber. She was solid, but Amber is transcendent. I would love to see the original cast (or those who return) one last time.
