What Happens to a Show...

I don't know if this has been asked before (I used the search button..and nothing came up, but you never know). But, I was wondering, what happens to a successful show if something happens at the theatre it plays at? Like, an electrical fire, etc. What happens to the show? Does it just go dark, until damage at the theatre can be fixed or any safety issues can be fixed? Or what?

Just wondering.

Any answers (even the sarcastic ones-you guys make me laugh..even if the sarcastic remarks are towards me) are greatly appreciated.

Yes. Something of that nature happened a while back at the Plymouth/Schoenfeld, IIRC during the run of Jekyll & Hyde. The ceiling backstage fell in, and they did have to cancel a few performances to shore it up again. When Amour at the Music Box there were some problems with the set that warranted canceling a few performances as well.

Given the condition of the Henry Miller I'm not at all surprised by that, but there definitely was a roof problem that caused a cancellation at the Plymouth. I'm not sure if it was during Jekyll, but it was definitely at that theatre. I remember a friend of mine who worked there was laughing about having the day off.

Into the Woods reveival delayed previews due to a leakage of some sort.
