Broadway Closed for the Rest of the Year

Many of us have suspected it, but it's now official - Broadway will not reopen in 2020. The press release says that, "The Broadway League announced today that Broadway performances in New York City will be suspended through the remainder of 2020 due to COVID-19."

"The Broadway experience can be deeply personal but it is also, crucially, communal," said Chairman of the Board of The Broadway League Thomas Schumacher.  "The alchemy of 1000 strangers bonding into a single audience fueling each performer on stage and behind the scenes will be possible again when Broadway theatres can safely host full houses.  Every single member of our community is eager to get back to work sharing stories that inspire our audience through the transformative power of a shared live experience.  The safety of our cast, crew, orchestra and audience is our highest priority and we look forward to returning to our stages only when it’s safe to do so. One thing is for sure, when we return we will be stronger and more needed than ever.”
