Broadway, NY Musical suspension until May next year New Corona October 10, 7:47
The New York Broadway musical, which has been suspended due to the influence of the new coronavirus, will extend the suspension period from the beginning of next year to the end of May next year.
The theater, which has been crowded with tourists from all over the world, remains closed for over a year.
On the 9th, an industry group made up of theater officials and entertainers from Broadway in central New York announced that it would extend the suspension period from January 3rd next year to May 30th next year.
There are more than 40 theaters on Broadway, but this is the third time it has been closed since March and the period has been extended.
According to the announcement, "97,000 people get jobs in these theaters, and the annual economic effect is 14.8 billion dollars, and the Japanese yen is more than 1.55 trillion yen," so this decision is economical. Losses will continue for over a year.
In addition to the fact that tourists from overseas cannot be expected, it seems that the background of the extension is that the influenza epidemic is approaching and it is not possible to fully prepare for the performance, but in New York, movie theaters have also been reopened. The so-called entertainment industry continues to be hit hard.
