2 years later, industry leaders say Broadway is evolving while recovering from its longest shutdown in history

"It was tragic. We thought we were going to have 97,000 people out of work for two or three weeks. Who knew that it was gonna be 18 months? So it was devastating," said Charlotte St. Martin, president of the Broadway League."The George Floyd murder created a whole topic of diversity and what our community should look like. We were very quick to talk not only about the many initiatives that we already had in place but about how we could do better," she said.

They've been focusing on those efforts while getting Broadway back to business, even through the recent COVID surge. "The show must go on never was more appropriate than for Broadway. I mean, Omicron, we took shows out for 10 days. They were back the minute they could be back," St. Martin said."Broadway is tied to New York and New York is tied to Broadway. We have to be resilient and thank goodness we are."
