The Press Release:
The Broadway League announces the continued suspension of all ticket sales for Broadway performances in NYC through May 30, 2021. Dates for each returning and new Broadway show will be announced as individual productions determine the performance schedules for their respective shows. The League will provide updates to the public as more information becomes available.
“With nearly 97,000 workers who rely on Broadway for their livelihood and an annual economic impact of $14.7 billion to the city, our membership is committed to re-opening as soon as conditions permit us to do so. We are working tirelessly with multiple partners on sustaining the industry once we raise our curtains again,” said Charlotte St. Martin, President of the Broadway League.
Theatregoers holding tickets for dates through May 30, 2021 should contact their point of purchase for details about exchanges and refunds.
Broadway performances were initially suspended due to COVID 19 on March 12, 2020. At that time, 31 productions were running, including 8 new shows in previews. Additionally, 8 productions were in rehearsals preparing to open in the spring.

Piercing Ken Thoughts: The continuing announcements that we are sharing from The Broadway League sure do suck but as pointed out in our last one of this kind are no longer really a surprise. I’m sharing them as often as possible based on this sites audience indulges in a lot more Broadway than my PiercingMetal side of the coin and its important to keep you all inside than sending you out into the wilderness wondering if you will return safe and sound. I don’t see a lot of Broadway shows and I think the last one I attended was “Rocktopia” which was more of a Classical meets Hard Rock concert. Since this all began, I can say that every single concert and convention that I was scheduled or hoped to attend has been cancelled. I’ve typed the word “cancelled” more times than I’d like to have done for sure. So let’s keep an eye out for one another. We don’t have a vaccine yet for this but many are hopeful. See you again soon with hopefully much better news.
