Broadway Week opens today
Broadway Week started today, Sept 8, and runs through Sept 20, according to New York Theater's Stageworthy News. The fall season traditionally begins right after Labor Day, and this edition includes new performers moving into established shows. If you book a known title, check who is in the current cast before deciding which date to take. The late-September schedule can look different from the summer one.
The same report notes that Broadway marquees dim in memoriam tonight. Expect marquee light to be lower outside theaters in Midtown Manhattan after dark, which affects evening photo plans.
Come From Away and the 9/11 season
amNew York writes that "Come From Away" has become the 9/11 story that stuck while earlier plays faded. The musical is set in Gander, Newfoundland, where 38 diverted planes landed after American airspace closed. 25 years on, the piece is drawing renewed attention. For a visitor in mid-September, it connects to the anniversary without turning the trip into a memorial tour. See if a performance lines up with your dates.
