Houston Ballet has announced that it is cancelling its 2020 production of "The Nutcracker."

The production typically brings in $5 million of revenue a year, Houston Chronicle reports.

The company also announced that it has laid off 30% of its full-time staff and put its 61 dancers and more than 60 musicians on extended leave until performances are able to resume.
