Episode Details

Gordon Cox, Contributing Theater Editor for “Variety” and host of Variety’s “Stagecraft” podcast, is featured in this episode of "THEATER: All the Moving Parts", hosted by Patrick Pacheco. When Governor Cuomo closed Broadway on March 12th, it sent out shock waves to the public about how serious the coronavirus was. From his home, Cox brings us up to date on how New York theater is weathering the pandemic. What are the lessons from other crises (e.g. flu pandemic of 1918, 9/11) which impacted Broadway? How will Broadway come back? Are musicals or dramas more likely to return? What’s the impact on The Tony Awards? Cox is optimistic about Broadway’s comeback, “It has always bounced back, no matter how dire things have been in the past.”
