Three of Broadway’s biggest shows – Lion King, Hamilton, and Wicked – will open Sept. 14 after more than a year of being dark, the shows announced jointly Tuesday. Tickets went on sale today.
“It s kind of indescribable,” said L. Steven Taylor who plays Mufasa on Broadway. “Broadway coming back is really a community coming back and making New York really start to go,” he told ABC’s Good Morning America Tuesday, who first announced the news.
On Broadway alone, these three productions combined have employed nearly 1000 performers during their runs, with thousands more who have performed in these shows around the world, press representatives for the productions said in a joint press release following the GMA announcement.

President Biden said he expects public health experts, and the White House, to be “more aggressive” in laying out what fully vaccinated individuals can do, in an effort to continue to persuade Americans to get vaccinated.
During a meeting with a group of governors today, Utah Gov. Spencer Cox told the President that one thing the administration can do to help states convince their populations to get vaccinated is showing Americans the benefits of getting the vaccine.
“We want people to understand that the vaccine is really the key to ending that. And that’s one area where we could use some help from the White House and others, and that is modeling what a fully vaccinated person can do. I like to say we have fully vaccinated people, we should start acting like it,” Cox said.
