CATASTROPHIC: NYC’s Broadway/Theatre District LOCKS DOWN Until Summer 2021

Broadway and Times Square will never recover. It’s as if the Democrat party of destruction wants NYC dead and buried.

Broadway to remain closed until summer 2021

By Rob Bailey-Millado, NY Post, October 9, 2020 |

The Broadway League has announced yet another extension of the stage shutdown in New York City.

The organization confirmed that it is suspending ticket sales and performances through May 30, 2021, marking another COVID-19-induced delay before live theater productions will return, according to an announcement Friday via Twitter. Ticket-holders should contact their point of purchase for exchanges and refunds.

“With nearly 97,000 workers who rely on Broadway for their livelihood and an annual economic impact of $14.8 billion to the city, our membership is committed to re-opening as soon as conditions permit us to do so,” said Charlotte St. Martin, president of the Broadway League, in a statement. “We are working tirelessly with multiple partners on sustaining the industry once we raise our curtains again.”

Returning productions are tentatively projected to resume performances over a series of rolling dates beginning June 2021, according to BroadwayWorld.com.

Broadway performances were suspended on March 12, 2020. At that time, 31 productions were running, including eight new shows in previews. Rehearsals for eight other productions — set to open in the spring — were also shutdown.

On April 8, a reporter in Albany asked Gov. Andrew Cuomo about Broadway’s initial cancellation of performances with a hoped for reopening date of June 7, 2020. The governor responded at the time: “I wouldn’t use what Broadway thinks as a barometer of anything unless they’re in the public health business and have seen better numbers and models.”

Theaters staging a comeback amid the pandemic should be lauded — not shamed

Sarah Jessica Parker, who was set to appear in a spring revival of “Plaza Suite” opposite husband Matthew Broderick, wrote in an op-ed for Variety this week that she hopes people who fled New York during the pandemic will return and open their wallets for theater tickets.

“I’m encouraging people to come back to New York and reinvest in our community,” the 55-year-old actress wrote. “Whether it’s a theater or a small business, you can’t reopen a business until you have the patrons there — it’s a psychological thing. And I believe it’s incumbent upon people who’ve had success in this city to reinvest, to come home.”

Parker also shouted out all the people directly and indirectly employed by the industry, which attracted a record 15 million tourists last season.

“Theater is the way we induce visitors to come to our city and plan those special afternoons and evenings, which keep such a vast web of my fellow citizens employed and afloat,” she continued. “All the people I know and all the people I don’t know who are out of work need theater for the rent, and the mortgage, and children’s educations — all the countless ‘ands’ that are creating so much anxiety across the city and the nation.”

Although the shutdown still holds firm, the long-delayed 2020 Tony Award nominations for excellence in theater are set to be announced at noon on Thursday, October 15, via their official YouTube channel.

“We are thrilled to have the opportunity to recognize Broadway’s magnificent work during the 2019-2020 season,” American Theatre Wing President Heather Hitchens and Broadway League’s St. Martin said in a joint statement. “Our Broadway community has been incredibly resilient during this difficult time, and we look forward to paying tribute to the performers and artists.”

When Broadway is filled with racists, such as the cast of “Hamilton”, it should have closed down years ago.

They still love her!
She lies like a rug and continues to do so.

What I do like about her is her loss to TRUMP. She’ll never get over that.
She stood by rapist Bill, fought off the bimb erruptions and patiently waited for her turn. Then Obama came along and called her and Bill racists and took the win. Next came Trump, who never ran for anything, not a politician and beat her. She will always be a bitter person.

Ivanka’s war on Islam. Ivanka works hard on her W-GDP [Women’s GDP] program, to increase workplace participation by women. Countries where women can work are richer countries. And promoting W-GDP is effectively an attack on Islam, because Islamist countries mostly forbid women from working.

They are communists. Communists are always tyrants.

Felix, yes, by definition, all Communists are tyrants. That’s because Communism always requires “the dictatorship of the proletariat” to get started. That always involves the subjugation of the citizenry, and the empowerment of the tyrant and his power circle.

Communists just put a spin on tyrant government by claiming to “help the poor”, and “abolish private property”, etc. But they always make poverty worse, and they grab all the property for themselves. So their ‘moral high ground’ is a ruse.

Chelsea Handler Bizarrely Admits To Having ‘Deep Sexual Feelings’
For Governor Andrew Cuomo
By LifeZette
October 8, 2020 at 4:34pm

“The thing is, I like older men, which brings me to the strong and deep sexual feelings that I have developed for Andrew Cuomo,” Handler said in a trailer for her upcoming special. “I want him to flatten my curve, then I want to flatten his curve. And then I want us to apex together.”

This isn’t the first time that Handler has let her disturbing obsession with Cuomo be known. Back in March, she penned a love letter to him in Vogue Magazine called, “Dear Andrew Cuomo, I Want to Be Your First Lady.”

“Out of the darkness, you, Andrew Cuomo, walk into my life, looking remarkably like the Incredible Hulk,” the former late night host wrote. “Your daily briefings have come at a time when I was beginning to wonder where the good men were and to feel despair that this was just the way the world was now.”

“Thank you, Andrew Cuomo. Thank you for reminding us that there are men who can lead and be clear and tell the truth — even when the news is bad,” Handler added. “I love you, Andrew Cuomo. Your daughters are lucky to have a dad like you. Thank you for showing us the heart of a New Yorker. But, most of all, thank you for your competence.”

Oh because the race riots didn’t devastate the local economy already? Man, do New Yorkers enjoy being poor-as-S?
On the other hand… “Escape from New York” seems more and more like a reality TV show. Yeah, let’s just point and laugh.

C. St.Martin of the B’way League claims “Our membership is committed to reopening” ASAP. I find that unbelievable. Meanwhile, aren’t actors often described as “starving?” This adds to their unemployment.
