I know a friend who was getting ready to make his Broadway debut but it got closed right before due to COVID. Other hurtful things with this additional closure:It's unreal how big of a blow the arts, in general, are going to take from this. I'm incredibly curious to see what shows look like after all of this in terms of remaining cast members, crowds, what shows remain, etc. I, unfortunately, think we'll probably see some permanent closures after this announcement in the next few weeks.
1. The Music Man (AKA the show that killed Beetlejuice on Broadway. :chainsaw is now pushed back to December 2021.
2. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, which not a great script but is a great theatrical experience, is now pushed back indefinitely.
This could be the end of the industry. I'd love to see an Amazon or Netflix or heck even the producers themselves sell digital movies of their shows to help fill the gap in the meantime.
