"On March 12, 2020, all 41 theaters in New York City's Broadway district went dark due to the pandemic. This closure affected not just the actors but also orchestra musicians, ensemble dancers, stagehands, wig designers, costumers, and lighting crews. Many have been out of work since then, with some leaving the industry or New York entirely. The reopening date for Broadway has not been set yet, although there are expectations for shows to resume in some form by the fall."
