\n The shutdown on Broadway has been extended again \u2014 until at least early January.<\/p>\n

Although an exact date for performances to resume has yet to be determined, Broadway producers are now offering refunds and exchanges for tickets purchased for shows through Jan. 3.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Broadway experience can be deeply personal but it is also, crucially, communal,\u201d said Thomas Schumacher, chairman of the board of The Broadway League, which represents producers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe alchemy of 1,000 strangers bonding into a single audience fueling each performer on stage and behind the scenes will be possible again when Broadway theatres can safely host full houses,\u201d he added. \u201cThe safety of our cast, crew, orchestra and audience is our highest priority and we look forward to returning to our stages only when it\u2019s safe to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n

Broadway theaters abruptly closed on March 12, knocking out all shows \u2014 including 16 that were still scheduled to open \u2014 and postponing indefinitely the Tony Award schedule. Producers, citing health and city authorities, previously extended the shutdown to June 7 and then again to Sept. 6.<\/p>\n

In London, producer Cameron Mackintosh has said his company\u2019s West End productions of \u201cHamilton,\u201d \u201cThe Phantom of the Opera,\u201d \u201cMary Poppins\u201d and \u201cLes Miserables\u201d won\u2019t reopen until 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic. The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., has canceled most previously announced performances and events through the end of 2020, as has the Huntington Theatre Company in Boston.<\/p>\n

Broadway grossed $1.8 billion last season and attracted a record 15 million people. Producers and labor unions are discussing ways theaters can reopen safely.<\/p>\n

The latest extension wipes away many shows planned for the fall. Many have just moved to next year, including a revival of \u201cThe Music Man\u201d with Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster that was to start rehearsals on June 29 BUT will now open in May 2021.<\/p>\n

Shows that were to open this spring have abandoned their plans, including \u201cHangmen\u201d and a revival of Edward Albee\u2019s \u201cWho\u2019s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?\u201d A production of \u201cThe Minutes\u201d by Tracy Letts and \u201cAmerican Buffalo\u201d by David Mamet will arrive on Broadway in Spring 2021, opening exactly one year after their originally scheduled opening dates.<\/p>\n
