Which is a shame because what will that do to the wonderful all not white cast of Hamilton.

Which is odd because the original real cast was all white.

Those buildings have rent payments, maintenance and heating, security, weather, lighting and other manditory service requirements, as well as contractual obligations to meet.

How will they meet these financial obligations, when the DEMOCRATS are demanding that you not conduct business?

Broadway will open when you get a republican mayor.

Glad to hear it. Broadway is crap and has been ever since electronic amplification became the norm. Now, utter no-talents can have their voices run through Auto-Tune to fix their tone deafness and ugly timbres.

I know for a fact (because I performed in one of these travesties) that much of what the audience hears in a modern B'way musical is recorded.

Most supposed B'way musicals are rehashed pop music turned into a show. The music of ABBA, The Four Seasons, Carole King, Billy Joel, John Lennon, etc. is turned into a stage production. Why not? There is no modern day Jerome Kern, George Gershwin, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, Rodgers & Hammerstein, Lerner & Loewe to actually write original music for real shows.

Thank God that those great shows have all been made into movies featuring real singers like Julie Andrews, Gordon MacRae, Judy Garland, Rosalind Russell, Howard Keel, even (shudder) Barbra Streisand.

Broadway is dead. It will eventually be replaced by recorded pop music and dancing robots. And a modern audience raised on TV and studio-produced pop garbage will never know the difference.

It’ll come back but only with a handful of shows that’ll be ready to go on at, say, a weeks notice. Nothing new is going to open until next fall.

New shows need packed houses to make back their money.

Phantom can run as long as Andrew Lloyd Webber wants to spend money on it.

Now where are people going to go to see people dancing around and pretending to be somebody they aren’t?

I mean besides Democrat candidates.

Many here and on Reddit say those unemployed who worked on Broadway (and most other services-related industries) just need to get the right skill set to schlep boxes at Amazon in the ‘new economy’
