Were they planning to close soon?

I hadn't seen it elsewhere (correct me if I'm wrong!), but the Aida workshop was also canceled.

Jesus Christ Superstar's stop in Providence in two weeks is postponed, according to an email sent to patrons today. The show will return at some point in the fall (date to be announced) for its week-long stop there.

Well, there goes my ticket to A Bronx Tale.  I exchanged my Mean Girls ticket for it, when I was sick.

Beautiful has also canceled.

I'm a little pessimistic that the stops that were "postponed" will actually happened.  This all went down after a number of venues announced their 20-21 seasons, and others probably had them pretty much set.  The venue here (Wilmington, DE) usually announces in early March and hasn't yet, but fitting in whatever shows don't stop here because of this (we already missed Play that Goes Wrong, will likely miss Color Purple (scheduled 4/16-19), and Fiddler (May 7-10) will depend when restrictions are lifted) will likely be complicated, and the same is true for other venues.  Assuming  these shows go back on tour next season, they are likely pretty well booked up- and the venues already have dates blocked off, contracts signed, etc.   If the shows are still touring in 21-22, that might be more practical.

For Jacksonville, we currently have one official show, Hamilton, that has been postponed.  Our last show, of our series, is the equity tour of Anastasia, which is the end of April.  I can easily seeing that postponed also.  I think they will definitely try to fit Hamilton into the 2020/2021 season, instead of refunding all that money.  In addition, the nonequity tour of Anastasia  will be running by then.  It will be easier to find a spot during the 2020/2021 season and will also be much cheaper for our sponser.  The average person will not know the difference, between the two tours, just as long as they saw it.  I think some shows that would have been part of our 2020/2021 series will be cut in favor of these two.  Our series has not been announced and will probably be pushed back, to accommodate the rescheduling.

The Waitress tour announced it has closed up and will not resume.

The Kimmel Center just moved their tour of Jesus Christ Superstar to Jul 21 through Jul 26, 2020
