Broadway To Reopen Sept. 14, Says Gov. Andrew Cuomo; Tickets On Sale Tomorrow

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has announced that Broadway will reopen on Sept. 14, with tickets going on sale tomorrow. Theaters will be open at 100% capacity, the governor says.

The surprise announcement comes just days after Cuomo said Broadway would not be included in a planned May 19 reopening of many New York City businesses and venues. Cuomo said on Monday that Broadway, which has been shut down since his order on March 12, 2020, would need more time to reopen than other industries due to the logistics of theater producing.

Both Cuomo and The Broadway League had previously indicated that September was the target reopening month, but the governor’s announcement of Sept. 14 at a press conference today was the first projection to pinpoint a specific date.

Deadline has reached out to The Broadway League and Actors’ Equity Association for comment on Cuomo’s announcement.

RNC Spokesperson Dodges Same Question About Election Result Over And Over Again

Republican National Committee spokesperson Paris Dennard just couldn’t do it.

On Tuesday, ABC News senior national correspondent Terry Moran repeatedly pressed Dennard on whether he accepted the results of the 2020 presidential election as legitimate.

Moran posed pretty much the same question to Dennard at least seven times. But Dennard repeatedly dodged giving what was essentially, as Moran noted, a “yes or no” answer.

“Are you dodging whether or not our country’s democracy certified by the 50 sovereign states, confirmed by 60 courts of law and President Trump’s own Justice Department?” asked Moran. “Are you saying those processes of democracy can’t be relied on? Is it a legitimate election under our Constitution and laws? Yes or no?”

Instead, Dennard responded by parroting right-wing talking points about election integrity and calling President Joe Biden a liar.

At one point, Moran told Dennard to “use the word legitimately.”

Still, he couldn’t.
