NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — The Tony-winning musical "Jagged Little Pill" announced Monday it would not reopen as the latest omicron surge continues to affect a number of Broadway shows.
"We are so proud of this extraordinary show, and this extraordinary company, who every night in difficult circumstances, have told the Jagged Little Pill story," the show said in a statement. "This show about healing, human connection, and catharsis, has been a salve to audiences, and to all of us, throughout these trying times."
The Broadway show, inspired by Alanis Morissette's Grammy-winning album, previously announced on Saturday that performances would be canceled through Tuesday after COVID positive cases.
In it's statement Monday, "Jagged Little Pill" acknowledged "the drastic turn of events" that "once again, changed everything."
"We are dismayed by what appears to be another substantial public health crisis, and — due to the detection of multiple positive COVID-19 cases within the company — need to prioritize the health and safety of the cast, crew, and entire team working on 'Jagged Little Pill,'" the show added.
The Broadway hits "Hamilton" and "Aladdin" announced Monday their shows would shelve performances through Christmas due to the latest spike that has also led to the cancelation or postponement of a number of shows in recent days, including "Tina – The Tina Turner Musical," "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child," "Moulin Rouge!" and "Ain’t Too Proud."
The Broadway League has launched a website allowing theatergoers to track what show performances have been postponed or are currently running.
