Including, perhaps most critically, from Kate Shindle:AEA v. St. Martin "

Miles2Go2 said: "Kad said: "I'm more curious about the shows that haven't canceled at all due to Covid yet. It seems like it's been largely the same group of shows struggling with this, while others have avoided it."
I thought about this as well. My first inclination is that the shows that are having to cancel quite often are mostly shows with a large cast/ensemble? That may be a wrong assumption on my part but that’s

Last night's Stars in the House was very informative about testing protocols, closures, etc on Broadway. It's 2.5 hours, but if you can spare the time, at least watch in segments.

Musical films that don't have the same energy as their stage counterparts
Jersey Boys is a perfect example
Steven Spielberg's WEST SIDE STORY - News & Discussion Thread
It looks amazing on a big screen, but it was way too early to release this as an in-theaters-only thing.

Post show signings?
Call_me_jorge said: "If they are keeping a distance of six feet or more and wearing their masks is it really that much of an issue?? I agree there shouldn’t be signing or posing for photos, but the former seems reasonable to me."
The problem is even if YOUR intentions are good, by forming something resembling a crowd, you're potentially becoming part of the problem. You can't tell everyone walking by that there isn't really a stage door anymore.

Luminaire2 said: "However, I could see producers looking at the cost of cancellations and seeing risky behaviours as a huge detriment to the production, which could result in a show closing for good due to already shaky financials. It’s a tumultuous time, and I think they may be wanting to make decisions that protect the integrity of the show and jobs. It’s not an easy time to manage this."
I vaguely remember hearing that the kids in Annie weren't allowed to play with the Broadway Softball League because they didn't want them to get hurt. There are other clauses in other industries about risky behavior (specifically am remembering how Jeff Kent lied that he slipped and fell while washing his car, when he was riding a motorcycle, in violation of his contract) — so I'm with you there. I've been surprised at how many actors' instagram stories have been filled with parties and other types of gatherings I'm not even comfortable doing myself, and I'm boosted and work from home.

Wicked and Thoughts of a Colored Man. Girl From the North Country was for a while, but I think aren't anymore.
