Broadway dimmed the lights and closed up shop on Thursday, March 12, due to the recent coronavirus outbreak in New York. Insiders have since fretted over the fate of many spring shows, some of which had started previews while others were still rehearsing ahead of their first performance. Now we know that two highly anticipated productions will not open this season whenever Broadway shows are allowed to continue.
The first yet-to-open show to list a closing notice was Martin McDonagh’s new play “Hangmen.” The show won the Olivier Award for Best Play in 2016 and went on to a successful Off-Broadway production at Atlantic Theater Company. The Broadway staging starred Mark Addy, Dan Stevens and Tracie Bennett, and began previews on February 28, ahead of a scheduled March 19 opening night. Since the official opening never occurred, “Hangmen” will be a sorely missed presence in this year’s Tony race.
