The theater industry is bracing for a long, difficult recovery period, with astronomical losses and insiders anticipating further postponements to the reopening date. More details here:
The Broadway League, the trade organization that represents New York's top-tier theater industry, confirmed Wednesday that the 41 venues that make up the Great White Way will not reopen April 12, as previously scheduled.
Broadway will now remain dark through June 7, though given the unabated spread of the coronavirus pandemic, subsequent announcements are widely expected to push back that reopening date further as needed. Even if the blackout does end then, the sector could take years to bounce back from the astronomical losses.
"Our top priority continues to be the health and well-being of Broadway theatergoers and the thousands of people who work in the the theater industry every day, including actors, musicians, stagehands, ushers and many other dedicated professionals," said League president Charlotte St. Martin in a statement Wednesday.
The continuation of the suspension beyond the originally scheduled April date was inevitable given that the death toll in New York state has soared to more than 5,500. Statewide coronavirus-related fatalities last week doubled in just three days, while this week registered the highest number of deaths in a single day since the crisis began.
