Frozen And Other Disney Broadway Shows Halted Due To Health Concerns – But There Is Good News!

Frozen and other Disney Broadway shows are in the dark. As of Thursday, March 12, the Great White Way will be shut down for a month. The shutdown includes Aladdin, Frozen on Broadway, and The Lion King, which is Disney’s longest-running Broadway production ever.

Governor Andrew Cuomo asked for venues and production companies to shut down due to coronavirus concerns. The increasing public health concerns have led to closures around the world and even caused state Governors to cancel events and limit public gatherings.

Earlier this week, the New York Governor announced during a press conference that no gatherings of over 500 people will be allowed except for hospitals, nursing homes, mass transit usage, and schools. The limiting ban started on Friday, March 13 at 5:00 p.m. ET and is in affect until further notice.

As per Inside the Magic, the President of the Broadway League, Charlotte St. Martin, released a statement about the closures: “Our top priority has been and will continue to be the health and well-being of Broadway theatergoers and the thousands of people who work in the theatre industry every day, including actors, musicians, stagehands, ushers, and many other dedicated professionals.

Broadway has the power to inspire, enrich and entertain, and together we are committed to making that vital spirit a reality. Once our stages are lit again, we will welcome fans back with open arms so that they can continue to experience the joy, heart, and goodwill that our shows so passionately express every night.”
