By: Nicole Rosky Mar. 13, 2017
Bundle up, New York! Winter Storm Stella is here, and we're likely to be left with lots of snow, ice, and chaos in her wake.
Broadway and off-Broadway closures:
The Broadway League released the following statement:
All Broadway shows will perform evening performances tonight as scheduled. For questions about exchange policies, theatregoers should contact their point of purchase.
Charlotte St. Martin, President of The Broadway League, said, "The show must go on! For visitors who are staying in hotels and can't get home, it's a great time to see a show. Locals can see a hot show in a warm theatre! As always, the safety and security of theatregoers is everyone's primary concern, so those who can't get in to the city should contact their point of purchase for questions about exchange policies."
This information was last updated on March 14 - 9:55 AM EST.
