    Due to the never-ending coronavirus crisis, the Great White Way has been forced to delay the reopening which was initially scheduled for January next year.

    AceShowbiz – Broadway theatres will remain shuttered through 30 May, 2021.
    Officials from the Broadway League announced on Friday (09Oct20) a four-month extension beyond the most recent January re-opening date, forcing producers hoping for a spring opening to alter plans.
    “With nearly 97,000 workers who rely on Broadway for their livelihood and an annual economic impact of $14.8 billion to the city, our membership is committed to re-opening as soon as conditions permit us to do so,” said Charlotte St. Martin, President of the Broadway League. “We are working tirelessly with multiple partners on sustaining the industry once we raise our curtains again.”

    Productions including “MJ”, “The Music Man”, “Flying Over Sunset”, “Caroline or Change”, “Plaza Suite”, “American Buffalo”, and “The Minutes” had all been aiming for spring openings on the Great White Way.
    There were 24 shows open and running on Broadway before the shutdown. Five more were in previews and three – “Frozen”, “Hangmen”, and “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” – have already announced they will not return.
    Film and TV industries have also been struggling to adapt to post-coronavirus world since lockdown was first imposed earlier this year. Many projects were either pushed back or called off as the industry was brought to a standstill due to the worldwide pandemic.
    Hollywood movie moguls like Martin Scorsese, Clint Eastwood, James Cameron, Christopher Nolan, Judd Apatow, Jon Chu, Sofia Coppola, Alfonso Cuaron, Patty Jenkins, and Michael Bay recently signed an open letter pleading with the congress to help bail out cinemas hit by the crisis.

      'Frozen' Broadway Musical Permanently Shut Down Due to Coronavirus Pandemic

      The New York stage show based on Disney’s popular animated movie will not return when theaters in the Big Apple reopens once the Covid-19 lockdown is over.

      AceShowbiz – “Frozen” has become the most high profile casualty of Broadway’s coronavirus shutdown – the show will not return when New York’s theatres re-open in September 2020.
      The producers of the Disney production have announced the show’s permanent closure, making it the third production to shut down completely amid the ongoing global health crisis.
      “Frozen”, which first opened in March, 2018 at the St. James Theatre, was far from a flop and in the week before Broadway’s curtains came down in March, the show grossed over $798,600.
      “In the summer of 2013, when Frozen began its road to Broadway, two things were unimaginable: that we’d soon have five productions worldwide, and a global pandemic would so alter the world economy that running three Disney shows on Broadway would become untenable,” Thomas Schumacher, the president and producer of Disney Theatrical Productions, tells Deadline.
      “The extraordinary contribution of Broadway’s original company, plus those who have joined more recently cannot be overstated. Frozen, like all shows, is wholly dependent on those who create and perform them but this was an uncommonly close and talented group and they’ll be missed. Finally, I have to acknowledge our incredible audiences; night after night, the fans showed us how much they loved this show and we look forward to seeing them at Frozen around the world.”
      The Broadway blackout previously led to the cancellation of two prominent new productions – Martin McDonagh’s “Hangmen with Dan Stevens, and Edward Albee’s “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” starring Laurie Metcalf – which had been in previews when the shutdown occurred. Producers have since confirmed they will also not return once the suspension ends.
