Currently in the theatre district, and it looks like over half of the area is without power tonight around 7:30pm. Im curious to see if any shows will cancel or just postpone if the power doesnt return.

They may be able to finally perform a show and not get giddy for a change x

Seems like most Broadway and Off-Broadway shows are affected right now.

In line to pick up lotto tickets for Tootsie... we’ve been here for about twenty minutes and they are just trying to keep the crowd informed. (And doing a great job!) Emergency lights are on but all the marquees around us are out. A little eerie.

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but it would Equity’s call to make regarding cancellation, no? Or at least a factor?

I’m seeing some shows have canceled and Cursed Child is one of them. Not sure which the others are.

To have this happen 30 minutes before curtain makes it tough for theaters. I doubt any wait past 8:30 before cancelling.

For sure. If shows run past 11pm, they owe everyone overtime pay, which is insanely expensive. I think a lot of decisions will be made in the next 15 minutes.
