No jab? No show!
It’s showtime — for vaccine passports!
The Broadway League announced on Friday that Manhattan’s famed strip of theaters will require audiences, performers and backstage staff to show proof of vaccination against the coronavirus as the city’s performing arts ready for their fall return.
Additionally, audiences will be required to wear masks while in the theaters, except while eating and drinking in designated areas.
The directive covers Broadway’s 41 theaters and will remain in place through at least October and could be extended depending on public health guidance, the league said.
The move comes as city public health officials ramp up their vaccination efforts in an attempt to head off an outbreak of the super-contagious Delta variant.
Mayor de Blasio again hinted on Friday that the Health Department is considering requiring proof of vaccination for bars, nightclubs and indoor eateries as another way to contain the spread of the Delta variant and provide another incentive for vaccination.
