‘Broadway will close until June 2021’ | Entertainment

entertainment">In principle, there will be no theater performances or musicals in the city until May 30th. All stages had to close their doors in mid-March due to the corona epidemic. The damage to the culture sector is estimated to be in the billions of dollars. The theaters in New York attracted 15 million visitors last year.

entertainment">At the time of closing, more than thirty shows were playing on Broadway, most of them with great success. Eight shows were still in the tryout phase; these have never officially premiered. In addition, rehearsals took place for eight new performances that were to premiere in mid-2020.

entertainment">It is unclear how many of these performances will still be shown in 2021. The Tony Awards, America’s most important theater prizes, will be presented soon, during a digital ceremony.
