THE GREAT GATBSY Tour Cancels Minneapolis Performance Mid-Show Due to Technical Difficulties
Following the cancellation, the issue was able to be resolved and the evening performance went on as planned.
The second to last Minneapolis performance of The Great Gatsby was cancelled mid-performance on Sunday, June 7 due to technical difficulties, The Minnesota Star Tribune reports. The matinee performance was halted just minutes into the show, but the issue was able to be resolved and the evening performance went on as planned.
“They’d only gotten through two or three numbers when, boom, the show stopped,” said audience member Mary Ellen Hennessey. “There was an announcement of technical difficulties. We waited for a while, then the show started and stopped again.”
Affected customers will receive refunds, according to theater officials, and they can expect the refunds within two to three weeks.
A notice shared by Ticketmaster read, “We’ll issue a refund to the original method of payment used at time of purchase … It should appear on your account within 14-21 days.”
