National Tours / Venues postponing or canceling stops due to CoronaVirus — Page 2

I saw this site on another message board yesterday which sort if explains the theory behind all these closures:

British Columbia hasn't yet been hit as hard as Washington State to the south if us. But, today our provincial health officer asked for the the cancellation of all events over 250 individuals. The more surprising thing for most people, though I had a premonition it might come, is that anyone who travels anywhere - including the US - is being asked to quarantine themselves for 14 days upon their return starting today. A lot of people who live close to the border will often cross the border to pick up groceries. The health minister even made a comment on the televised press conference telling people not to go to Washington to buy milk. (Not because the milk is suspect, but due to possible contact with infected individuals in Washington State)

I had plans to go down next weekend to see Sister Act in Seattle which are now cancelled.

I hope things calm down by May when I have a holiday planned in California with plans to see Hamilton, Sunday in the Park With George, & Lempicka among other things.

So sad about Hello Dolly. I was totally looking forward to it.

Dallas has banned crowds over 500 for the next 7 days so Dallas Summer Musical's Come From Away has been at least postponed for now. We have season tickets and this Sunday was our show. Really bummed.

The Governor of Delaware has "recommended" non-essential gatherings of more than 100 people be cancelled. This weekend's engagement of the tour of the Play that Goes Wrong at the Playhouse Theatre has been "postponed" and all future events at the Playhouse and Grand Opera House will not go forward until further notice.

There are numerous musicians/comedians/etc scheduled. Next two touring productions (the last two for the season) are Color Purple 4/16-4/19 and Fiddler 5/7-5/10 so hopefully things will be back to normal by then. We've only had four cases here in DE, but there are more cases in the surrounding states.

Can you and your closest 1000 friends come see Dear Evan Hansen?”

My grandma is nearly 100. Maybe I’m not likely to get ill from Coronavirus, but I won’t be the person who accidentally kills her."

They did cancel the rest of the Fiddler run.

Denver Center on Wednesday. They just said if you're sick, you can exchange your tickets of the same show - depending on inventory. They wrote they are evaluating on a show by show basis. Perhaps they are waiting for an order from Mayor or Governor.

SpongeBob is presently in town and we have tickets next Tuesday. And ends the 22d. Reduced Shakespear Company also ends the 22d. Mean Girls was to open March 25 to April 12.

And now, there is an order from the Mayor. So Denver Center is closed through April 12.

Broadway in Chicago just announced cancellations today:

• THE BACHELOR LIVE ON STAGE, CADILLAC PALACE THEATRE, MARCH 14, 2020 IS RESCHEDULED TO SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10, 2020
• KEANE – CAUSE AND EFFECT TOUR, CADILLAC PALACE THEATRE, MARCH 20, 2020 - CANCELLED
• MY FAIR LADY, CADILLAC PALACE THEATRE, MARCH 24 – APRIL 12, 2020 IS RESCHEDULED TO MAY 12 – 23, 2021
• WHAT THE CONSTITUTION MEANS TO ME, BROADWAY PLAYHOUSE, ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED THROUGH APRIL 12, 2020 will suspend performances immediately (Friday, March 13) through the end of March. The show hopes to resume performances on Tuesday, March 31 – April 12, 2020 at a reduced capacity based on the guidelines related to COVID-19 provided by the CDC and Chicago Department of Public Health, and pending the ongoing guidance of local government.

On top of this, the Chicago tryout of Once Upon a One More Time has been cancelled

carolinaguy said: "Durham Performing Arts Center currently has the tour of Les Miserables for a return engagement and they are still going. As of this morning, their website says they are working with the Broadway League to monitor the situation. Perhaps they didn't get the memo about yesterday. The governor of NC is recommending cancelling gatherings of more than 100 people (and that recommendation may become an order), so I think it's irresponsible of the theater to continue to operate at this time."

They just announced on the news that DPAC is cancelling Les Mis and several other performances.

ChihuahuaDad said: "Received this tonight.

Broadway in Louisville will postpone all performances of ANASTASIA scheduled between March 17 and March 22, 2020. We ask that ticketholders please hold onto their tickets as we work to reschedule ANASTASIA in Louisville. We will be in touch as soon as possible with more information on the status of this event."

They have also cancelled remaining performances in Fayetteville, Arkansas this weekend. I wonder if Lila Coogan's run as Anya is done since she was scheduled through April 5.
