The Day Broadway Went Dark
On March 12, 2020, Broadway essentially canceled all performances due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Initially, Playbill.com reported that the closure would only last for one month through April 12. Broadway stage performances ended up being shut down for well over a year.
Returning This September
When the cast of “Come from Away” returned to Broadway in early May 2021, the official YouTube channel for the musical published a special video.
In the video, it said: “Our ‘Come from Away’ family came back together for the first time in 425 days.” It also announced that performances would resume in September 2021.
