NY Broadway Musical Canceled throughout the year New Corona June 30 10:03
It has been decided that the New York Broadway musical, which has been suspended due to the spread of the new coronavirus, will not be restarted. While it seems difficult to reopen in the same format that many spectators gather inside the theater, there is likely to be more concern about the damage to the industry.
This was announced on the 29th by an industry group created at theaters in New York.
Due to the spread of the new coronavirus, the musical theater around Broadway in central New York had to cancel the performance from mid-March this year, and until now it was suspended until September.
According to the announcement on the 29th, the cancellation period will be extended to the end of the year, and tickets will be refunded by January 3, next year.
The industry group says, "The safety of the performers, staff, and spectators is a top priority, and we want to resume when safety is secured. We are considering the necessary measures to resume it."
There are 41 theaters around Broadway, and nearly 15 million people visit each year, but it is difficult to expect tourists from overseas for the time being, and it seems that it is difficult for many people to gather in the theater in the same way as before. As a result, there is a growing concern that the long-term suspension of performances may damage the industry.
