Happy New Year!

Shows worth monitoring for New Year’s Day:

• Clyde’s
• MJ

Just checked in at the Neil Simon and they said, so far, the MJ performance this afternoon is going on.

From the website:

“The 8pm performance for Assassins on 1/1 have been cancelled out of an abundance of caution due to increasing Covid-19 positivity rates.”

I’m assuming they’re referring to rates in the city and not in the cast/crew. If that’s the case, I have to be worried about my ticket for Tuesday night as I don’t see rates falling between now and then (if anything, they’ll spike again following NYE celebrations). I’m not complaining. I applaud them for being cautious. And worse case scenario is probably that I’ll just pivot (if they cancel with enough warning that I can make it to another theatre) and see something I wouldn’t have seen otherwise (and maybe see Assassins if it transfers to Broadway later). I’m also anxious about whether this trip is even a good idea right now…Argh…I will probably never book a non-refundable hotel reservation again.

Just curious. Have any understudies/stand-bys gone on during any of Assassins’s performances?

Do you have some reason to think they’ll specifically announce tomorrow?

Yes, when I saw it, Eddie Cooper was out and the understudy was on as The Proprietor. (From his Instagram, it looks like he's also gone on as Samuel Byck.)

I don't see how it makes any sense for Assassins to cancel performances based on rates in the city, unless they are going to (heaven forfend) scrap the rest of the run. The show is booked to run through 1/29, right around or just after when cases are expected to peak. The omicron situation will not improve all that much before then. That said, I think they're probably referring to cases in the company, although that's a weird way to phrase it. They used the same language to announce they were down on the 22 and 23.

Skeleton Crew also cancelled fro the next few days. 

 

These Assassins cancellations literally make no sense. What's the difference between today and tomorrow?

Someone said they’re gonna post their closing notice this week. Don’t remember who

Sutton Ross said: "Im so sorry Dan, I cannot imagine coming from out of town in this time of complete uncertainty and just hoping my show will happen. So stressful and frustrating. I hope it works out."

With schools opening back on Monday and mask usage on the subway spotty at best, this is a very good week NOT to be coming here.

Mockingbird has cancelled both shows today.
