On June 21, 2022, The Broadway League issued updated COVID-19 safety protocols for all 41 Broadway houses:
As of July 1, Masks Are Optional at Most Broadway Theatres
Audiences of all ages are required to wear masks inside Broadway theatres through Thursday, June 30. For the month of July, masks will be optional but encouraged save for American Buffalo at Circle in the Square Theatre and The Minutes at Studio 54, which both require masks through the end of their respective runs.. Masking rules for August will be determined in mid-July. You can read more about COVID-19 safety at each Broadway theatre chain at the following links: Nederlander Theatres, Shubert Theatres, Jujamcyn Theatres, the Lyric Theatre and the Hudson Theatre. Broadway venues operated by the nonprofits Roundabout Theatre Company, Manhattan Theatre Club, Lincoln Center Theater and Second Stage Theater are dark until fall, so their COVID-19 rules are to be determined.
Currently, Proof of Vaccination Is Not Required for Broadway Shows*
*Note that Moulin Rouge! requires proof of full vaccination and masks for its Can Can! Seating.
Rules for Shows Beyond Broadway
Legally, theatres beyond Broadway no longer need to require proof of full vaccination or masks. However, many are sticking to those rules, and some productions even require booster shots. Before buying tickets to any event, it's imperative to read the specific rules of the venue or production so you are prepared.
