Snow storm / blizzard - Feb 22 & 23

8am and nothing. Supposed to start coming down steadily around noon with blizzard conditions starting up around 6pm.

this is possibly going to be the biggest snowstorm in 15 years. The league should be canceling shows.

To be fair, airlines have to be far more proactively responsive to inclement weather (or even the possibility of it).


I assume we’ll see cancellation of any evening shows, but I doubt we’ll see many matinee cancellations unless there are transit shutdowns in the afternoon.

I am VERY curious to see how Operation Mincemeat handles this. After the brouhaha regarding the extra performance, if they cancel it, you will have a LOT of pissed off people. I can envision the producers sweating right now and I feel bad for the Telecharge and box office staff about to take the brunt of this because none of this will be their fault.

Its all just interesting insight into how media/crowd think works. last month there was nonstop handwringing and questioning and outrage and worry---the storm was being discussed in earnest days in advance, and people were wondering how matinees would go on given the possibility of 8 to 10 inches.

now theyre predicting minimum 12 inches with 60mph winds- not passable conditions--and theres just this weird silence? How will all the theatergoers at Mincemeat get home if its a full on blizzard? What is the plan? Everyone was furious with the producers of Chicago/Wicked but now? Everything is vibes.

My Bigfoot show was smartly canceled. I Would not have risked it anyway.

For those who don't know, what's the backstory here? I honestly can't believe anyone is going to be upset about this.

The long story short is that they decided to add an extra evening performance today due to overwhelming demand to see the final OG Cas performance. However, this pissed off a lot of people who bought tickets already for the matinee, thinking they were going to see the final performance, leading to a headache between the producers, Telecharge, and patrons to rebook people to the later performance while they proceeded to up charge tickets that were exchanged."

Oh, thanks, that sounds like a hot mess all around.
