疫情导致百老汇重开日期无限推迟，纽约市至少损失了数十亿美元的旅游资金

由于疫情原因，百老汇关闭已经有6个月了，按目前的形势来看，重开日期会被再次推迟。纽约大都会歌剧院已于周三宣布因疫情取消整个2020-2021演出季。

这导致剧院行业经济上的损失巨大！比如去年仅在2018年5月28日至2019年5月26日的一个演出季中，百老汇就获得了超过18.3亿美元的收入。像 "汉密尔顿"、"狮子王 "和 "红磨坊 "这样的热门演出在以前每周都能卖出数百万美元的门票，现在却没有任何收入，并且这种状况估计还得持续四个月。

而且剧院周边的其他行业也受到了严重影响。因为剧院的观众通常会在剧院附近的餐厅、酒店和公共交通上消费数十亿美元；所以百老汇关闭也对纽约的城市经济造成了很大的损失。

Six months later, Broadway remains closed and isn’t slated to reopen until 2021. The reopening date has already been pushed back several times and could be delayed again. New York’s Metropolitan Opera on Wednesday announced the cancellation of its entire 2020-21 season due to the pandemic, an ominous sign for all performing groups.

During the last Broadway season from May 28, 2018 to May 26, 2019, shows garnered more than $1.83 billion, marking its highest-grossing season in history, according to an annual report published by the Broadway League. The coronavirus has crippled the live theater industry, especially in its central hub in New York City. Popular shows like “Hamilton,” “The Lion King” and “Moulin Rouge,” which sold millions of dollars in tickets each week, aren’t generating any revenue and won’t for at least four more months.

The absence of theatergoers, who spent billions at restaurants, hotels and public transportation, is taking a further toll on the city’s economy.  source
