SHUTDOWN: “When Will Broadway Theatre Reopen, Based on COVID-19 Infection Data?” by NYTix’s Karen Carter – “Based on all the available infection data, information on the virus, mortality charts and insider political chatter about the Governors appetite to get the state up and running again, a somewhat-educated guess is that the full set of Broadway theatres will not open until June 1st 2020, at the very earliest. June 15th, 2020 may be more likely, with July 1st, 2020 being the conservative estimate.” http://bway.ly/nyo8mw
