BUZZ BEAT MEDIA

Witnessing the wonders of theatre plays in Broadway are something that many have been deprived of during the era of COVID-19. It was indeed saddening to hear that some shows have been suspended last year, and that they would  not be coming anytime soon as people are still trying to attempt navigating through these trying times. 

It is understandable since it is one of the many sacrifices needed in order to prevent the further spread of the virus, and since preparations for the play take a lot of work. With a lot of postponements and cancellations that occurred, many fans have wondered when things can return to normal and when they can see their favorite Broadway shows.

However, it is indeed thrilling to hear, then, that Broadway is reopening this 2021 and by September, theatre can be open, allowing us to once again enjoy the shows we’ve come to know and love. 

While some favorites still have yet to return and a lot of preparation is still in the works, many shows have announced the dates of their previews and opening nights, which gives us an idea when to expect and make plans as we purchase tickets. 

Let’s take a look at these popular Broadway shows that will be returning to the stages:

Hamilton

If you’re even a casual fan of theatre production, you’ve surely heard of Hamilton, which has been beloved worldwide over the years due to its refreshing style and performances.

This production which is a sung-and-rapped-through musical by Lin-Manuel Miranda is worth seeing live, as it tells the story of American history told anew.

If you’ve been sad about missing it before, don’t fret since it has been announced that it will be back on September 14, 2021, which will be held at the Richard Rodgers Theatre. Through the site Ticketmaster, you can get your ticket and witness the much-adored production in person.
