The organizers of the play "Chicago" announced the return of the musical performance to Broadway as of next September, the date specified by the governor of New York to reopen theaters at their maximum capacity, in the first advertisement of its kind in the field of Broadway work. A spokesman for the theatrical producers confirmed to "Agence France-Presse" that Broadway shows had been resumed. Most of the tickets for the September 14 premiere at the Ambassador Theater were sold out in the early hours of their launch, according to the official Broadway reservation sites. The Covid-19 pandemic caused the suspension of musical performances for 522 days, which is unprecedented in the history of this most famous theater district in the world, which has been located near Times Square since the beginning of the 20th century. New York State Governor Andrew Kuomo allowed theaters to reopen from April 2, but at 33% of their normal capacity, provided that the number of attendees does not exceed 1,000.But relaunching the millions of dollars in Broadway shows is not economically profitable in such circumstances. Only two plays in what is known as "Off Broadway," a network of lower-capacity theaters, have performed again. Another musical, "Six", has also announced the resumption of its performances, starting from September 17th.
• Most of the tickets for the show were sold in the early hours of its launch.
