Broadway continues shutdown till June 2021

Bad news for the arts. The Broadway League reportedly will announce another extension of the stage shut down in New York City today.

The shutdown will be extended, and that there will be no Broadway performances before June 2021. That's according to NY1 sources. Several new shows that have been scheduled to open have been canceled or postponed.

According to sources, "The Lion King" and "The Phantom of the Opera" will most likely not reopen until the fall of 2021. Sarah Jessica Parker was set to appear in a spring revival of “Plaza Suite” opposite husband, Matthew Broderick. She hopes people will come back and support the theaters.

If theaters remain closed through June 1, 2021, that will mean between 14 and 15 months of closures.
