Broadway Is Dark. London Is Quiet. But in Australia, It’s Showtime.
The New York Times: The lights were dimmed, the crowd was masked, and plexiglass divided the orchestra.
Jemma Rix, draped in royal blue and holding a sanitized scepter as Elsa, emerged to greet the “Frozen” family — her spunky sister, Anna, the dashing Prince Hans and the stoic reindeer Sven — all tested for Covid-19, belting out familiar lines with new meaning.
“For the first time in forever,” they sang, “nothing’s in my waaaay!”

“How good is Australia”. that is an Australian saying, it is not a question. For some reason, I have been keeping up with Australia and been obsessed with Australia for the past few months. They have been amazing at mitigating COVID so go Australia! I want to go to Australia so badly! I think that a few people are aware of my random obsession with Australian cricket… Anyways back to the Newsfeed comment. Haha, I love “Hamilizer” that the cast and crew carry around to stay safe. It is crazy to think that if one person gets sick the whole show can get canceled! Australia is being incredibly strict on a lot of rules to stop the spread. They are so serious that a break out of 17 Covid cases in Sydney caused a massive amount of shutdowns and restrictions. Australia also has mandatory quarantine periods for all visiting travelers. I really want to go to Australia one day
