Severe Weather Triggers NYC Travel Delays; Broadway Shows Will Play as Scheduled

Severe weather in New York City and the surrounding area caused New York Governor Kathy Hochul to declare a State of Emergency last night, September 28. Heavy rain has led to flash flooding across the city, causing multiple subway lines to suspend service entirely, leaving many commuters stranded.

A flood watch is in effect for 23 million people across New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.

As of 5pm on Friday, all Broadway shows will play as scheduled tonight.
