The Broadway League has just issued the following statement "As of now, there will be no cancellations for today's performances on Broadway.
"Grab your snowboots and enjoy the hot shows on Broadway - it's a great time to get good seats!" commented Charlotte St. Martin, Executive Director of The Broadway League. "The Great White Way is not letting the white snow outside affect the musicals and plays in its theatres."
If patrons cannot get to the show, they should contact their point of purchase for exchange information. "
Despite heavy snow already having hit and more on the way to the New York City area, all daytime and evening events on Wednesday February 10 are performing as scheduled.
As "the show must go on", multiple shows, including HAIR are offering special "Snow Day" discounts and it's likely that even Broadway's hottest shows will all have tickets available for today's performances.
