Shut Everything Down: Sandy Edition

Well, besides closing nearly all manners of transportation in and out of Manhattan, Sandy has also put a downer on one of the city’s greatest tourist attractions: Broadway shows.

All Sunday matinees went on as planned (with lots of swings taking the roles of actors too scared to leave their apartments). However, Sunday night shows were cancelled early Sunday morning. October 29th shows have been cancelled as well, meaning that shows like Annie, Newsies, and Rock of Ages won’t get to go on today. Since schools have been closed for tomorrow, I’m willing to bet that some (if not all) shows will be cancelled on Tuesday, too.

The following information about refunds and exchanges for shows on the 28th and 29th was provided by The Broadway League:

“If tickets were purchased via Telecharge or Ticketmaster via phone or online, your credit card will be refunded automatically within 7-10 business days. For any issues, please contact the customer service information included with your tickets. Please have your Order Number/Confirmation Number handy. Original tickets need not be retained.

If tickets were purchased at the Box Office: please return your original tickets to the Theater Box Office. You have the option of receiving a full refund to the original method of payment or exchanging your tickets for an alternate date of your choice, subject to availability.

If tickets were purchased through any other sales channel, please return to the original point of purchase for more information. If you have your tickets in hand, please retain them for a refund or exchange.”

Stay safe!
