The Broadway League announced today that mask requirements for New York City's 41 Broadway theaters will be extended through at least May 31.

However, after April 30, vaccination checks will no longer be mandatory. Shubert and Nederlander Theatres will no longer require proof of vaccine for admittance, nor will Disney Theatricals. Lincoln Center Theater will continue to require proof of vaccination, as will Manhattan Theatre Club and Roundabout Theatre Company for the duration of their current runs.

Masking protocols for June and beyond will be announced in May. Audience members should check point of purchase for additional information.
