Broadway On Demand has postponed its Tony Awards celebration due to the ongoing George Floyd protests: 'We stand in solidarity with Black Lives Matter.'
First the Tonys were postponed. Now the show that was going to fill in for the Tonys is being postponed.
The postponement is linked to the ongoing protests and unrest in the wake of the death last week of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police. "This is a pivotal moment in our nation’s history and our priorities at this time are to listen, to engage in meaningful dialogue and to do our best to enact real change in our industry and in our nation. We truly believe theater has the power to educate, inspire, develop empathy, bridge cultural divides and ultimately unite under the banner of humanity.
