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.

Here in Hell’s Kitchen, we ZERO power anywhere. It’s a sh*tshow outside. This is crazy.

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

A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

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.
