COVID Cancellations — Page 30

My friend arrives Wednesday from California. She's already on the East Coast. We were scheduled to see 8 different shows during the next week including Aladdin and Dear Evan Hansen. I've already rebooked Dear Evan Hansen for next Wednesday. It will be interesting to see if Aladdin actually happens on Sunday. 

SIX cancelled at the door tonight at 7PM. 
 

That one blew. We were so close.

They were supposed to be tonight, too. Something must have happened.

RE: Tightening protocol

"We have not talked about that beyond that we’re going to talk about it."

Stellar leadership as always from Charlotte St. Martin.

Charlotte St. Martin: “We’re Not Closing and we have not talked about tightening protocol.”

Omricon: “Hold my beer.” 

 

 

 

Hadestown posted on Instagram. Closed until 12/28. 

Come Tuesday there will probably be more temporary closings.

People have said that if another full shutdown were to occur, it would make it almost impossible for Broadway to recover! More and more shows will have to close permanently! There would be more empty theatres by the time we emerge from this! I posted something similar weeks ago and people said that it would not mean another shutdown, but that should be the case now, but again, I do not see that happening!

I love my post criticizing Charlotte St. Martin getting removed as if this website would continue to exist should she continues her reign destroying the industry by doing absolutely nothing.

I don't really understand what folks are proposing here. What should Bway shows do?

A lockdown wouldn't be backed up by any gov't help this time. Restaurants are facing the same challenge, lost revenue by self-imposed personal lockdowns. But there is absolutely no political capital or public will to do wide lockdowns again. Especially since the vaccines seem to be seriously cutting into hospitalizations.

It feels like the world's strategy is get vaxxed, and brace yourselves for a rocky winter, getting through however you can.

For me it's less about the action and more about the messaging. The League is saying "let them eat cake" with that they won't consider a shutdown while crews, cast and likely audiences are creating daily mass spreader events. It's just unprofessional and it shows how out of touch the industry leaders are, telling people who just came back to work and are still struggling financially and mentally to get screwed and figure it out themselves.
