Away from the UK now, and New York City’s Broadway theatres will remain closed until at least September.

The Broadway League says customers holding tickets through until 6 September have been offered refunds or exchanges, though no date has been set for when shows can resume.

“While all Broadway shows would love to resume performances as soon as possible, we need to ensure the health and well-being of everyone who comes to the theatre – behind the curtain and in front of it – before shows can return,” said Charlotte St Martin, President of the Broadway League.

Broadway performances have been suspended since 12 March, when 31 productions were running and another eight were in rehearsals and preparing to open in the spring.

The Broadway League says it will continue to work with city and state officials to determine an appropriate date for performances to resume.
