FILE - Broadway posters outside the Richard Rodgers Theatre in New York on May 13, 2020. Broadway theaters may be dark but there will be plenty of new online productions of some of classic plays this fall. “Hamilton” producer Jeffrey Richards on Wednesday unveiled a seven weekly play run of livestreamed works to benefit The Actors Fund. They will stream on Broadway’s Best Shows and ticket buyers can access the events through TodayTix starting at $5.
NEW YORK — Fans of Broadway will have to wait a little longer for shows to resume — until at least late May. “We are working tirelessly with multiple partners on sustaining the industry once we raise our curtains again,” said Charlotte St. Martin, president of the Broadway League, which represents producers.
. Producers, citing health and city authorities, previously extended the shutdown to June 7, then again to Sept. 6 and again to Jan. 3.The new timeframe may complicate a clutch of show that had planned to open in the spring, including “MJ,” “The Music Man,” “Flying Over Sunset,” “Caroline or Change,” “Plaza Suite,” “American Buffalo” and “The Minutes.”
We have to DO something to help the millions of us that will continue to be out of work long term with this news. We need federal relief and we need it now. Get involved in demanding it at can you amplify our work?
Most importantly, , are the thousands of industry professionals out of work due to this shutdown for what will be a year and a half. Touring shows, regional theatres, we are all out of work. That’s the story. ExtendPua BeAnArtsHero1 SaveTheArts Broadway ExtendPUA
Honestly, it's 2020. Live shows are nice, but literally every show can, at any time, be streamed. Sell tickets, have a subscription service, etc. Your roots are burried in the middle ages, why is your marketing?
Good, love that they’re being cautious, hoping Beetlejuice Bway will be back, if even for 6months or so🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
perhaps you can find employment as a panhandler---
That short little wait of another several months to a year has massive repercussions on the industry as a whole, jobs, and economy
As a musician... covid is the worst thing to happen in my lifetime.
Do virtual shows, like the Emmy’s. Limited crew socially distanced. Televise for a subscription price and keep people employed. It also people who can’t afford a house payment for one ticket to indulge in the arts and culture.
A cautious and carefully planned season, albeit limited, could still keep people employed and provide a vital cultural need during this 2020 nightmare so many are facing. They could call it Broadway 2.0 or Reinvent Broadway. They could duplicate the bubble the NBA used. Do...
Smart move!
Lol. Well f*ck my job, right, and everyone that actually works there to help pump billions in the economy...
We need to elect Joe Biden
Good! No more choosing selfishness over LIVES.
