Unfortunately another suspension in the world of Disney has been made this morning. This time the announcement affects not only Disney but Broadway itself.
Broadway announced on Twitter this morning:
Under the continued direction of Gov. Andrew Cuomo, and for the health and well-being of our theatergoers, cast and crew, the suspension of Broadway performances of THE LION KING and ALADDIN has been extended through January 3, 2021.
Both Disney productions, Aladdin and The Lion King will be suspended until January 3, 2021.
This comes as no surprise as Broadway first went dark on March 12, 2020 due to the pandemic.
We then were surprised to hear the news in May when Disney announced the permanent closure of its third and newest show, Frozen on Broadway. You can read about it here.
Today seems to be the day of theater announcements regarding suspension of shows. Just this morning, Cirque du Soleil made their announcement on filing for bankruptcy protection. You can read about it here.
