Broadway To Remain Closed Until June Because Of Coronavirus

The Broadway League announced today that theaters will remain closed until June 7, effectively ending the 2019-2020 season.The Broadway League announced today that theaters will remain closed until June 7, effectively ending the 2019-2020 season.Broadway shut down in March for what it thought would be a month, but with New York at the epicenter of COVID-19 cases in the U.S.

Broadway brought in $1.8 billion in ticket sales and close to 1.5 million audience members last season. It's New York's top tourist attraction, bringing in more people than all of the tri-state area's professional sports teams combined. And many ancillary businesses have been affected, too – hotels, taxi cabs, restaurants.

When performances were suspended, 16 shows were scheduled to open before the Tony Awards deadline in late April – two of them, a revival ofBeetlejuice will not reopen in June, may move to another theater later. Three shows at non-profit venues will postpone their productions to next season. The pandemic's toll has rocked the community with personal losses, among them Tony Award-winning playwright Terrence McNally, character actor Mark Blum, and composer Adam Schlesinger.

Flash mobs it is, then

I PREDICT GAY PORN SALES WITH SKYROCKET BECAUSE OF THIS...

so sad

It's funny because when I count the seventy-six days Wuhan was closed from when FL announced schools would close (or just stay on Spring Break) I get 07JUN too. I still wonder what happened to the sick people in Wuhan. Are they out on the now-open streets too?

'There's no business like show business' song can no be shortened to 'there no business'

I bet JesseBWatters is distraught over this.

Ouch

Sure, let's travel to the future. It's June 7th, 2020. Broadway re-opens. There is no coronavirus vaccine. 20,000 people have died in NYC. 300,000 people are infected. People are lining up to sit in a crowded theater to watch Beetlejuice? Unless you mean June 7th, 2021?

Wow!

Give my regards...
