The Kite Runner has become the first show on Broadway to require audiences to wear masks at certain performances.
โปรแกรมสแกนสล็อต joker ฟรี The move is particularly notable as the show's weekly mask-only evening will be on Fridays - one of the most popular nights in New York's theatre district.
Fans who are disabled or have other health vulnerabilities have long called for theatres to host mask-only nights.
But the major theatres in London's West End have yet to introduce such a scheme.
Producers said they scheduled the performances after some ticket buyers "expressed trepidation" about coming to see the show.
'Audience demand'
In England and Wales, the mask mandate was lifted in January, in line with a significant fall in Covid cases and deaths following the rollout of the vaccine.
As a result, it has become increasingly rare in recent months to see audience members wearing facemasks at the vast majority of West End performances.
However, the US was much slower than the UK to do away with facemask rules.
Broadway theatres only lifted the industry-wide mask mandate on 1 July, and two plays - The Minutes and American Buffalo - kept their mask requirements in place until they closed later that month.
The decision to offer mask-only performances of The Kite Runner means immunocompromised ticket buyers, or indeed anyone who is uncomfortable sitting in a mask-free environment, will be able to see the show.
