Hurricane Sandy Causes The Cancellation of Broadway shows on Sunday and Monday



          I'm sure everyone has heard of Hurricane Sandy (unless they live under a rock). Barreling up the coast and leaving destruction in its wake, Hurricane Sandy-or any hurricane for that matter, aren't to be messed with. Safety is vital, and that's where the issue with Broadway comes in.

          New York-and especially NYC, are in the path that the hurricane is set to follow. In what I'm sure was a difficult decision, Broadway League Executive Director Charlotte St. Martin has decided to cancel all Broadway, off-Broadway, and 54 Below performances for today-Sunday the 28th,  and Monday the 29th. 

         The reasons this happened is because, as stated by Ms. St. Martin- public transportation has been suspended (stopped) for a while, since it's absolutely not safe for anyone to be driving anywhere.

         While I'm sure many people will be disappointed in this, the upside is that if they bought their tickets on broadway.com or 1-800-BROADWAY, they can get their tickets refunded.
