While the shutdown was only announced for a few weeks initially, Broadway productions have since remained dark.
And while Cuomo, NYC Mayor Bill De Blasio, the Broadway League, and President Biden’s Chief Medical Officer Anthony Fauci have all cited this fall as a target reopening, many shows are expected to take longer to raise their curtain due to cost, not to mention complicated safety and contractual logistics with large companies.
The Broadway company, at the time of the shutdown, featured Adrianna Hicks as Catherine of Aragon, Andrea Macasaet as Anne Boleyn, Brittney Mack as Anna of Cleves, Abby Mueller as Jane Seymour, Samantha Pauly as Katherine Howard, and Anna Uzele as Catherine Parr; casting for its return will be confirmed later.
