In spite of a hurricane warning for the New York City area, all Broadway shows are scheduled to go on as planned over the upcoming weekend. Hurricane Irene is expected to bring high winds and heavy rain on August 27 and 28, but as of August 26 there are no show cancellations in effect for those days.
"As of now, all Broadway shows in New York City for the coming weekend are playing as scheduled," Paul Libin, chairman of The Broadway League, said in a statement. "For questions about exchange or refund policies, theatergoers should contact their point of purchase. Broadway is a community and we work together very closely on the safety and security of our theatregoers and employees. In all emergencies impacting safety, we coordinate our efforts with the New York City Office of Emergency Management."
