The Book of Mormon Halts Broadway Performances Through May 17 After Theater Fire

Repairs proceed under a city order that keeps the Eugene O’Neill Theatre closed.

Overview

  • The production extended its shutdown through Sunday, May 17, in a Wednesday statement from ATG Entertainment and the show's producers.
  • The fire that started Monday in an electrical room between the fourth and fifth floors grew to three alarms and left one firefighter with minor injuries.
  • New York City's Department of Buildings issued a full vacate order after inspectors found heavy damage to the spotlight booth and the roof, with a partial vacate for several rooms in an adjoining hotel.
  • ATG and the producers said they are working with outside specialists on repairs and will give another update next week, with performances expected to resume in the coming weeks.
  • Ticketholders will be contacted through their point of purchase for refunds or exchanges.
