wear a mask restrictions are expected to be relaxed. That at theaters along the great white way, want to get right out to News twelve's Phil Tate right now. He's got more for us. He is in the theater district tonight, Phil what are people saying to you tonight? How are they reacting? I'm assuming. Good, bad. What are we looking at? Well, they're definitely happy. And this is just another reminder for the entertainment world that we're starting to see it return to a pre pandemic normal. Well, it's broadway curtains are lifted tomorrow. So will its mask mandate and well, this news has new Yorkers on the edge of their seats, very excited, very excited and very happy that everything is open and that every, all the shows are back on and the people are back to work. And I think it's a great thing. I probably would maybe stay home and not go to the show if I felt like I had to wear the mask where now that I don't, it's definitely a plus. And the broadway league announced days ago that 41 broadway theaters will adopt a mask optional policy for the month of july, although audience members are encouraged to wear masks and theaters. But this news follows yet another restriction is back in May when audience members no longer needed to show proof of vaccination to enter venues while audience members will no longer have to wear masks throughout the duration of shows. They will be monitored on a monthly basis with more updates provided in july but for some, they aren't sure if they'll be letting go of those masks so quickly whenever I'm in a large crowd, I feel much safer with a mask on. And so if that would, you know, but not having it. Um I don't know. I guess I might choose to wear it anyway. If I feel uncomfortable being in a large group, I might just do it for my own safety. Mhm. And whether if you choose to mask up or to mask off, this is another big step for the theater world as they've continued their fight to stay open. It's hard to believe that it was back in March of 2020 when their doors were shuttered. But that's the latest here in the theater district. Unfilled Tate was 12 broadway hit hard by the pandemic. That's for sure, Phil, good to see.
