With the Broadway League weighing CDC recommendations for an additional four weeks of dark theaters, the likelihood of this year’s Tony Awards staying on schedule is shrinking daily, if not b…
insiders tell Deadline they are expecting the planned June 7 ceremony at Radio City Music Hall to be postponed – or even scrapped altogether – due to concerns over the spread of COVID-19.
The League, the trade organization representing theater owners and producers, confirmed yesterday that it was in discussions about new guidance from the Centers for Disease Control calling for the eight-week postponement or cancellation of gatherings of 50 or more people. An eight-week timeline would double the current monthlong Broadway shutdown that has performances returning April 13.
Actors’ Equity was a strong and immediate supporter of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s move to close Broadway theaters for four weeks, calling it “an important decision to protect the health and safety of everyone who works in the theatre.” The union, which also is urging Congress and local governments to ensure paid leave, health care and unemployment benefits for the arts and entertainment sector, has not yet publicly endorsed an extension of the monthlong shutdown.
Furthermore, producers must invite Tony voters, as well as the Tony Awards Administration Committee, to performances no later than the day before the Tony nominating committee holds its annual meeting just prior to the April 28 public announcement of nominees. That gives about 860 Tony voters just two weeks after the April 13 re-opening to see as many as 15 new productions . Even for Broadway in the always-busy springtime, 15 shows in as many days seems an unfeasible timetable for Tony voters .
