I know a few things have already opened but this is the day weve all been waiting for.
Its the day of the shows, yall.
Stay tuned for reopening night / preview threads for every B'way show coming back in the days, weeks, and months to come! No project should be overlooked or taken for granted.
We're back baby!!!
Yup. We’ve been waiting 552 days for this. I can’t believe it’s finally here.

I really want to know how long the applause will be after Ginny Claaire says “it’s good to see me, isn’t tit?”

Long enough that the stage hands will be on OT before they head home! A good night for all.

HAHA! Amazing.
I am so excited. I wish I could be there, but I have to wait until November! I decided to take a trip in November after all after cancelling it earlier. Now it's back on, and I can't wait!
I'll be at WICKED tonight and I am so excited!
FYI, The Lion King will be live streaming "Circle of Life" via their Tik Tok.

Oh my GOSH ENJOY ENJOY ENJOY!!!
The Lion King’s performance this morning just made me cry start to finish. Not only an A+ performance and commercial for the show but also for New York. Really outstanding on all fronts.

Wow. Absolutely stunning.
Wicked's TODAY show performance was wonderful as well. Such a great day today!
I’ll be at Wicked tomorrow! It was supposed to be my first show back, but then Pass Over and Waitress happened. But this one will still hold a special place in my heart since it was my first Broadway show all those many moons ago.
3 performances from Wicked on Today:
Broadway’s ‘Wicked’ performs ‘For Good’ (today.com)
Cast of ‘Wicked’ perform ‘What Is This Feeling?’ live on TODAY plaza
Broadway’s ‘Wicked’ performs ‘As Long As You’re Mine’ (today.com)
Every performance sounds and looks great. “Tina” is tonight on Jimmy Fallon.

They all sounded AMAZING. I definitely cried during “For Good”
Tonight at 6:30, NY1 has a 90 minute special “On Stage Presents Broadway’s Revival”.

The cast had so much incredible energy during What is This Feeling. It feels so fresh and just ready to burst at at all seems. Love it.
I've kind of been tampering my expectations over the last few weeks, especially with everything that's been going on with the recent surge. And while I know the road ahead isn't entirely smooth sailing, I'm finally allowing myself to get excited.
I'll be at Wicked tonight, and I can't wait. It's my first show since March 2020, and I'm just as excited as I was when I saw it for the first time almost 15 years ago, when it was the show that made me fall in love with theatre. Heck, maybe I'm even more excited. Pre-pandemic, I'd grown so used to seeing shows every week that I'd pretty much come to take it for granted. If there's anything good to be gleaned from this shutdown, it's going to be a newfound (or, maybe, a re-realized) appreciation for how special it is to witness live performances, and how lucky I am each and every time I get to sit inside a Broadway house.

Didn’t even make it past “from the day we arrive on this planet” before the tears started!
