Cleveland has officially announced that their 2020/2021 season will not begin until January...
“Dear Fans of BWY in CLE,
We at Playhouse Square are grateful for the many relationships our community has with our KeyBank Broadway Series and BWY in CLE. Whether you are a donor, a season ticket holder, a group leader or a guest who attends once or twice a year, you are important to us.
Today, I have news to share with you that will impact each of you in different ways. Together with the producers, we have decided to postpone the performances of Disney’s Frozen and Hamilton scheduled for late summer and early fall. Additionally, the national tours of To Kill a Mockingbird and The Cher Show have been delayed. These four jewels will return in a future season.
Our 2020-21 KeyBank Broadway Series will begin in
January: Pretty Woman: The Musical – January 5-24, 2021
The Prom – March 9-28, 2021
Ain’t Too Proud – April 6-25, 2021
Moulin Rouge The Musical – May 5-June 6, 2021
Hadestown – July 6-25, 2021
And as I announced in late April, My Fair Lady will take the stage in Cleveland June 8-27, 2021 and Jesus Christ Superstar will return August 5-22, 2021, giving us seven outstanding Broadway shows to look forward to next year.
As a not-for-profit presenter of live theater, these necessary steps are painful but the most thoughtful decision we could make, given the current circumstances. The disruption will cause significant loss and our rebound will be lengthy. Thus far, we have lost 450 performances.”
There was more to the letter, but that was the meat of it.
