Is this because of something other than the virus?
Carnegie Hall is closed as well as the Met Opera. Now I see the headlines on the Broadway theatres....

''Moulin Rouge!'' refutes Deadline.com's earlier report:
''No one at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre has tested positive for Coronavirus,” producers said in a statement. “One member of the company has a fever and out of an abundance of caution the Moulin Rouge! The Musical producers made the decision earlier today to cancel both performances. Since that decision was made, under the direction of Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Broadway shows in NYC will now suspend all performances immediately in support of the health and well-being of the theatregoing public, as well as those who work in the theatre industry. Performances are planned to resume the week of April 13, 2020.''
