On March 26, The New York Times reported that "a powerful explosion" caused one building on Second Avenue to collapse and started "a large fire that engulfed a neighboring building". The buildings are located at 121 and 123 Second Avenue near East Seventh Street, where Con Edison had been doing some kind of construction work.
The Public Theater's HAMILTON and JOSEPHINE AND I were forced to cancel their performances that evening due to poor air quality, and STOMP went dark the whole weekend.
