In the strongest sign that Broadway does not expect to re-open for business in mid-April as originally planned, the American Theatre Wing and the Broadway League have announced that the 74th Annual Tony Awards, scheduled to take place on June 7 at Radio City Music Hall and broadcast on CBS, have been indefinitely postponed. No new date was named, nor has any decision been made which shows will be eligible when the Tonys are eventually given out.
While approximately 20 shows officially opened before Broadway went dark on March 12, another 16 shows were scheduled to open before April 23 – the deadline for Tony Award eligibility -- and only a few have made definitive statements on their futures. On the downside, both Martin McDonagh’s “Hangmen,” starring Dan Stevens, and the much-anticipated revival of Edward Albee’s “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” sent out notices that neither show would reopen.

Conversely, the Roundabout Theatre Company announced that its two spring offerings, a revival of the musical “Caroline or Change,” starring Olivier Award winner Sharon C. Clarke, and Noah Haidle’s “Birthday Candles,” starring Debra Messing, would open in the fall. Similarly, Lincoln Center Theatre announced its new musical, “Flying Over Sunset,” would open in the fall at the Vivian Beaumont Theatre.
Meanwhile, speculation over some of the other planned openings remains high, with “Six,” “Company,” “Plaza Suite,” and “How I Learned to Drive” among the shows that many expect to come back in the coming season.
