Broadway will go dark for the next month to comply with Gov. Cuomo's mandate to ban gatherings of more than 500 people.
"Our top priority has been and will continue to be the health and well-being of Broadway theatregoers and the thousands of people who work in the theatre industry every day, including actors, musicians, stagehands, ushers, and many other dedicated professionals," President of the Broadway League Charlotte St. Martin said Thursday.
"Broadway has the power to inspire, enrich and entertain, and together we are committed to making that vital spirit a reality," Martin added. "Once our stages are lit again, we will welcome fans back with open arms so that they can continue to experience the joy, heart, and goodwill that our shows so passionately express every night."
Performances are slated to resume on April 13.
