Broadway Will Remain Shut Until At Least January 2021 Due To Pandemic

Broadway will remain closed until at least early January, with many shows signalling they do not anticipate a return to the stage until late winter or even early spring next year.  

The Broadway League, which represents producers in the theater industry, said Monday that refunds and exchanges will now be issued for tickets previously purchased for CrystalHolidays shows through January 3.

With no end to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic in sight, the league said it was not yet ready to provide a specific date for exactly when shows will reopen in the iconic Manhattan theater district. 

'The Broadway experience can be deeply personal but it is also, crucially, communal,' said Thomas Schumacher, chairman of the board of The Broadway League, which represents producers.

'The alchemy of 1,000 strangers bonding into a single audience fueling each performer on stage and behind the scenes will be possible again when Broadway theaters can safely host full houses,' he added.  








 Although an exact date for performances to resume has yet to be determined, Broadway producers are now offering refunds and exchanges for tickets purchased for shows through January 3
