Broadway Hit ‘Aladdin’ Forced To Shut Its Doors After Only One Performance Due To Breakthrough Covid Cases From The Vaccinated Cast And Crew
nteb ^ | 9/30/21 | Geoffrey Grider

George Orwell correctly predicted that, when the dystopia arrived, one of the hallmarks would be ‘double think’, the idea that you will be forced to hold two mutually-exclusive thoughts in your mind at the same time. We are watching that play out with the New World Order tellings us that the ‘vaccine will save us’, and then watch vaccinated people get COVID anyway that is somehow blamed on the unvaccinated. Vaccinated people are starting to wake up to the idea that the vaccine will not save them.

“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:32 (KJB)

Maine is a state that is the 3rd most vaccinated in America, and their hospitals are filled to overflowing with vaccinated COVID patients. A former Notre Dame professor who routinely attacked unvaccinated people as “selfish” passed away. 67-year-old Karen Croake Heisler received her first Pfizer Covid jab on January 13, 2021, and she died on September 19th after the third jab from cardiac complications. Now if you have a brain that you even marginally use to think with, you can clearly see what’s going on. If you can’t see it, you’re lost as a golf ball in high grass, and waiting for Antichrist. It’s a pandemic of stupidity engaged in by people who allow the government and the Devil to do their thinking for them. Get saved before it’s too late.

Broadway’s ‘Aladdin’ shuts after only one performance since “Re-opening Night” due to breakthrough COVID cases FROM CBS NEWS: “Aladdin” made its triumphant return Tuesday night, even tweeting video of its curtain call 18 months in the making, adding #BroadwayIsBack.

WISH THAT YOU COULD’VE SEEN LAST NIGHT’S REOPENING NIGHT CURTAIN CALL? WISH GRANTED. CHECK OUT THIS CLIP OF OUR AMAZING CAST AS THEY TAKE THE STAGE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN EIGHTEEN MONTHS TO BRING THIS STORY BACK TO BROADWAY. #BROADWAYISBACK PIC.TWITTER.COM/EKBKTD8N9J

But who knew it would be curtains for the show in just 24 hours due to breakthrough cases in the company?

“We were disappointed. We drove in, and we listened to the soundtrack on the way in,” Meredith Picone told CBS New York. Picone brought her 8-year-old son, Tyler, from Stony Brook, Long Island, to see the show, only to be shown the stage door. “We were shocked and stunned, but we were disappointed,” she said.

It was a longer trip for a group that came from Pontiac, Michigan. Asked whether it was disappointing, Cecelia Wilson replied, “Yes, it was … because I’m really a kid at heart.”

“That’s why I wanted to come, to see this,” Madison Lee said.

With dozens of new shows upcoming, it raises concerns about whether other shows could also be put in COVID jeopardy.

“Broadway has a way, especially even in the films of Disney, they found a way to connect to every generation. … If it does affect any other Broadway musical, ‘Harry Potter,’ ‘Dear Evan Hansen,’ it would be a real shock,” Upper West Side resident Brian Snipes said.

For now, “Aladdin” lovers will have to wait for the re-reopening, whenever that is. Customers will get a full refund for their tickets. It’s unclear when performances will resume.

Couldn’t happen to nicer people. I remember when cast members from Hamilton lectured Mike Pence when he was just there to enjoy a play. I hope they all go broke.

Does Broadway deserve to live? Last time I was in NYC, the choices were things like “the Lion King,” or homo or political propaganda like “boys in the band,” or 1000 different cheap remakes of movies

It seems Broadway has become worse than cable TV

Am I wrong?

Every actor and all of the support staff are vaccinated. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, you disease ridden freaks!

Using theater to further perpetrate theater.

Cute.

That’s true Pence was boo’d, but he behaved like a principled conservative. He grinned, shuffled his feet, whispered to his head fly and then he proceeded to sit among the NYC freaks as if everything was fine.

“Breakthrough cases — COVID-19 infections that occur in people who have been fully vaccinated against the virus — are rare, but possible and expected, as the vaccines are not 100 percent effective in preventing infections.”

Breakthroughs. Rare, but reported every day, and as in this case, involving multiple people “breaking through”.

Not at all.

I grew up hearing Broadway musicals and loved the music from an early age. My parents took me to my first show, a performance of “Oliver!” when I was eight and I was enthralled.

I remember lamenting with my dad several years ago that Broadway wasn’t putting good musicals out anymore. It became all based on movies or centered around various musicians.

I’m grateful that I got to see a lot of the classics in NYC, London and other places before the genre was destroyed by the left like so many other things.

I doubt I’ll ever go to NYC again and I’m quite OK with that.

Remind me again, what’s the reason to get vaccinated?

This whole thing is as tasty as Mel Brook's movie The Producers. I wonder if Hollywood would be open to a reboot, with a dash of COVID-19?

This is just financial theater. The show producers had to open it to close it in order to show financial loss. They’re going to turn around with their hand out for taxpayer money.
