The Nor’easter barreling down on the tri-state area from tonight into tomorrow has been upgraded to a Blizzard Warning for NYC, and the city is already shuttering to help keep people off the streets during the intense storm — including Broadway.
According to current weather models from the National Weather Service, the storm is forecasted to dump around 20 inches of snow around the city along with whiteout blizzard conditions and 55mph wind gusts.
The Broadway League, which serves as the the national trade association for the Broadway industry, shared a post on social media this afternoon. It states that matinee shows today 2/22 (those with curtain times of 3 p.m. or earlier) will continue. But, all evening performances tonight (curtain times at 6 p.m. or later) will be canceled.
Due to anticipated travel impacts from the impending blizzard and evening travel bans already announced for our surrounding areas, Broadway theatre owners and producers have come to the consensus that evening performances (curtain times at 6pm or later) tonight (Sunday, February 22) will be cancelled.
Though the post states that the show Operation Mincemeat did not cancel its evening performance for 7:30 p.m., the show has done so since.
The Broadway League notes that for questions about refunds or exchanges, ticket holders should reach out to their initial purchasing platform, whether it be the show box office or ticket purveyor.
Still, perhaps the biggest cancellation came for NYC Public Schools, as Mayor Mamdani declared the first “real” snow day for Monday 2/23 (AKA not remote or digital learning, and actual full day off!).
