Liverpool Empire owner ATG has announced it is postponing all shows at its UK venues until Sunday, September 20 to help contain the spread of coronavirus.
Since lockdown began, its box office teams across the country have rescheduled more than 15,000 separate performances of plays, musicals, comedy and live music.
The organisation is currently contacting customers whose original tickets were for performances up to August 2. Those with tickets for shows due to take place from August 3 to September 6 will be contacted next week, and the remaining customers contacted during the week beginning July 20.
A statement published on ATG's website this afternoon said: "On behalf of all our staff, backstage crews, front of house teams, actors, dancers, musicians, and the entire British theatre industry we want to thank you for your support and understanding as we work together to ensure the future success of our industry.
"All of us at ATG are enormously proud to be a small part of British Theatre, renowned as the greatest in the world. The arts has inspired, educated, entertained and enriched the lives of audiences for hundreds of years but has never been challenged like this. With your ongoing commitment we believe we can come back faster and stronger than ever before."
