BroadwayWorld.com announced today the rescheduling of its Standing Ovations V benefit, originally scheduled for Town Hall on November 1, 2009 to a date to be revealed later for the Spring of 2010.

"Though we were decently sold for '3 weeks out' in today's economy", said Robert Diamond, the event's producer, "I've been fielding calls day and night, from some of the more than a dozen charitable events that were scheduled for the same timeframe and with the charities themselves, telling us that BroadwayWorld.com's devotion to its own benefit, had been harming our normal aggressive promotion of their events - yielding sluggish sales all around.

In this time and economy, when all of these very worthy organizations need help more than ever, and with additional events for Broadway Cares / Equity Fights AIDS scheduled in the same week, we decided to move our concert forward.

I'd like to extend my personal thanks to all of the performers and musicians who have agreed to work with us on this event, all of whom I sincerely hope are able to join us on the new date."

Full refunds are being provided through ticketmaster.com and point of purchase for all ticket buyers, and a new date and theatre will be announced shortly for the rescheduled benefit.
