Blizzard won't pre-empt B'way shows

NEW YORK, Dec. 27 (UPI) -- The Broadway League says performances will not be canceled on the snow-socked Great White Way Monday night.

"The weather outside is frightful, but the Broadway shows inside are delightful," Paul Libin, chairman of The Broadway League and executive vice president of Jujamcyn Theaters, said in a statement issued to Playbill.com Monday.

"As of now, the Great White Way is open for business and all Broadway shows will perform today as previously scheduled. Whether you live in New York or are a visitor stranded in our city, it's a wonderful time to see a show! Tickets to hit shows will be available due to cancellations from the cold winter storm," the statement said. "Please check individual show information for holiday schedules and curtain times. For information about refunds or exchanges, theatergoers should contact their point of purchase. Tonight is a great night to sit in a warm Broadway theater and see one of Broadway's great shows!"
