Broadway theaters, among New York‘s
most-visited tourist attractions, will
remain closed through June 7 due to the
global coronavirus outbreak, an industry
group said on Wednesday.
Th e theaters closed on March 12 for
what was supposed to be one month while
authorities urged people to avoid large
crowds. With the coronavirus crisis continuing
and much of the United States
urged to stay at home, that timeframe was
extended.
“All New York City Broadway shows
have now been canceled through June 07,
2020,” the Broadway League, which represents
producers and theater owners,
said in a statement posted online. “When
this unexpected intermission comes to an
end – and, make no mistake, it will come
to an end – we’ll once again gather at
lobby bars, sit beside one another in velvet
seats, and laugh, cry, and cheer together in
unison,” the statement added.
Shows that were playing at the time
of the closure included hits such as
“Hamilton,” “Harry Potter and the Cursed
Child” and “To Kill a Mockingbird.”
