Me and a friend of mine are coming to NYC for 4th of July. However, he told me that Color Purple and a few other shows didn't have shows on the 5th. Does anyone know if shows are closed on 4th of July or after?
For future reference, when there is a major holiday the week of performances, shows either play on that holiday or can add an extra performance on another day and not perform on the holiday. It all depends upon the show. Broadway is never actually closed on a certain date. The only time that Broadway can be "closed" is when there is a strike going on. That happened a few years ago.
