Broadway is back!!! However, there are some people that are NOT happy about this history making event. Tonight’s Opening Night of the legendary
Bruce Springsteen‘s ENCORE engagement of his acclaimed acoustic solo show SPRINGSTEEN ON BROADWAY was met with a demonstration outside the legendary St. James Theatre. The protest featured a group of anti-vaxxers boycotting THE BOSS following news of this engagement being made up of audience members who have taken the COVID-19 vaccination only. The angry protests considered it as segregation and demanding for equal rights.
As previously mentioned from a FAQ page via the
Jujamcyn Theaters Organization (who owns the St. James Theatre), Audience members need to be fully vaccinated showing either an FDA or WHO approved vaccine in order to attend…and must show proof of vaccination at their time of entry into the theatre with their valid ticket.
People who were able to get inside to see Bruce Springsteen reacted in horror or just laughed ignoring the drama.
SPRINGSTEEN ON BROADWAY will inspire audiences to once again feel BORN TO RUN now through September 4th, 2021.

There is so much anticipation in the air for Broadway set to reopen its doors after over 17+ months being shutdown. With shows officially set to return, there are still some ongoing COVID-19 safety precautions that still need to be followed. The coronavirus is still out there so we still have to be extra careful.
All shows will be providing a healthy and safe environment for BOTH for your fellow Theatergoers along with for the Cast, Crew, Musicians, Creative Team, and everyone who works in the Theater. Many of these protocols will include….
still having to wear your face masks for the entire show (with the exception of the cast on stage or when Woodwind / Brass Musicians are playing in the pit),
increased cleaning and ventilation/filtration enhancements,
a COVID-19 vaccine or a negative test verification,
temporary elimination of the popular post-show stage door (for Theatergoers to meet members of the cast after the performance),
several shows temporary limiting to doing 5-7 SHOWS A WEEK but will return to the traditional 8 SHOWS A WEEK later on,
plans to refund / exchange your tickets in case an audience member gets sick.
Check out the list below on how each Broadway show will be following COVID-19 safety protocols when it returns.
