Sutton,
For what it's worth, I am a teacher in the NYC public school systems. Keep in mind that NYC almost never has snow days. Hell, there've been times where the subways weren't working and thus not allowing the kids to be able to get to school to do so, but they were still open. Now, with that in mind, there were inside rumblings Saturday evening into Sunday that schools are going to be closed Tuesday. The fact that that happened (topped with the official word coming out today that there's a high possibility of that happening) is extremely rare. To put things n perspective, my grandmother was a a public school teacher for close to 30 years. She had been able to count the snow days she had back when she was teaching on one hand. And, to top it all off, canceling school in advance the day before was and still kind of is unheard of.

Posted: 1/26/15 at 11:32amThe only time I recollect Broadway canceling was during Hurricane Sandy,October 28, 2012 "Though matinees are happening this afternoon as scheduled, all Broadway performances in New York City are canceled for Sunday and Monday evenings due to the suspension of public transportation, which begins at 7 p.m. ET Sunday in advance of Hurricane Sandy." Granted, this is not a Broadway show, and as of now, some service may be suspended. I think people realize (speaking for myself, I certainly do) that the Yorkey/Kitt and C. Dean will be different shows, the cast of If/Then is the common link. I think its safe to say that a majority of those going are fans of the cast.

sharona, I was referring to tking's post--- they clearly don't know the difference.
"i do however wonder if the show in March is the same show? In which case it may be in the best interest to exchange into that one. "
Shows were also cancelled in fall of 2011. I think for Hurricane Irene.

Well, there's no indication across Twitter at all that this will be canceled (as of now). Lots of flights canceled, though.
Also, I had no idea winter storms could be named.

Posted: 1/26/15 at 12:09pmYeah...this is Juno ---I didn't know that either. I will call later and see about exchanging my tickets for another show. I have my doubts that I will get out of the city, especially since I have tickets for the 9:30 show. It is what it is. Hope everyone stays safe!

Islander_fan,
That's very cool you are a teacher here, that is not an easy job. I work in a similar field. Yes, it's very rare to close schools due to weather around here, and I'm surprised they have done so a day in advance. However, I'm looking out my window here in my office and it's just grey. The snow was supposed to start at 8am today. So...what's up with that?

Posted: 1/26/15 at 1:28pmSutton, I don't know where in the city you work, but in lower Manhattan at least it's pretty windy and the snow is picking up. It's supposed to get progressively worse as the night wears on, too.

Posted: 1/26/15 at 1:31pmNot sure where Sutton is but it's coming down hard and fast in Midtown. Looks bad. Not "just grey".

Louis CK just sent out an e-mail that he is canceling his show at MSG for tomorrow night, but he did raise an interesting point: "They are calling this storm "historic" which.... Well I didn't know you could call a thing historic if it hasn't happened yet. But I'm not one to defy future historic events."
He also noted: "If you've ever tried to get your deposit back when you rent a banquet hall for a wedding that gets snowed out, you don't want to even know what the deposit is on Madison Square Jesus Christing Garden."

Edit: Nope! They just canceled by Twitter, what timing.
But nothing can beat that Buffalo lake effect blizzard last year, eesh.

They did note: "Guests of those performances should call us today before 5pm at 646.476.3551"
Not sure why, unless they are offering potential rollover options if those shows get rescheduled? Otherwise, seems easy to just refund everyone.

As they should be....it is disgusting outside. New York Courts (who are loath to close due to weather) have already announced full closure tomorrow. I'm sure schools are right behind (if they haven't already). Worked out well for me, : I used my refund for tonight's performance at the Public to score two tickets for Hamilton the first weekend in February!
Stay safe, everyone!
