A rush transcript of the Governor's remarks is available below:
Thank you everyone. Thank you very much. I know, unless you actually think you wandered into Hamilton, none of you paid your money to hear from a politician. So, I'm going to be really brief. But I am so excited to see that Broadway is back, and you are ready to be part of history!
This industry that defines New York was the hardest hit, the first to close, and the last to come back. But "comeback" is the operative word, because we are back, my friends, and you're evidence by being here tonight. Start spreading the news. Tell your friends, tell your family that New York is back, and as goes Broadway, goes New York, and we are back. So have a magnificent time, with this great cast of Company, it is all female-led. Thank you everybody, have a great night!
