The Broadway League announced Sunday afternoon that, in anticipation
of Hurricane Sandy and New York City's preparations for it, all Broadway
performances for Sunday and Monday nights would be canceled.
It
had been revealed earlier that government authorities will suspend
public transportation starting Sunday evening because of the impending
storm.
League executive director Charlotte St. Martin said in a
statement that "the safety and security of theatergoers and employees is
everyone's primary concern."
A number of Broadway venues are dark
on Sunday and/or Monday evenings and will not be affected. Those who do
have tickets for scheduled performances can seek refunds or exchanges.
More information is available, along with updates, at the League's
official site, www.livebroadway.com.
