Good morning, BroadwayWorld!

Cameron Mackintosh, his producing partners and Delfont Mackintosh Theatres have made the decision to delay the return of their productions of Les Misérables, Mary Poppins, Hamilton and The Phantom of the Opera until as early as practical in 2021.

BroadwayHD is planning a jammed packed pride celebration, kicking things off with a special free sing-a-long watch party of Live From Lincoln Center's broadcast of Falsettos - a Lincoln Center Theater production - on June 25th at 8PM.

According to Patch.com, Barnes & Nobles Upper East Side has closed its doors at 150 East 86th St. in search of a smaller location in the neighborhood. The site has been home to many Broadway Cast Recording signing events and performances since the store's Upper West Side location closed in 2010.
