The Kennedy Center announced Monday that it is cancelling or postponing all performances scheduled through August 9 due to the spread of coronavirus. Among the axed shows: a highly anticipated return engagement of Hamilton. 

Lin-Manuel Miranda’s juggernaut show was set to run June 16-September 20, two years after a successful engagement that kicked off the musical’s first national tour. The show will be rescheduled, according to a release from the Kennedy Center, to a yet-to-be-announced date.

A representative for the Kennedy Center declined to specify how many tickets to Hamilton have been snatched up since they went on sale in March, but countless others were likely planning to take their shot in the #Ham4Ham lottery for $10 tickets. The Kennedy Center’s release informs ticketholders of cancelled performances that they may donate the price of their ticket, get a full refund, exchange tickets for a future date, or exchange their tickets for a Kennedy Center gift certificate. The spokesperson clarified that those options are also available for ticketholders of all postponed shows, including Hamilton.

The 14-week engagement of Hamilton represents a chunk of the more than 1,000 performances that the Kennedy Center has cancelled or postponed in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. Other performances in limbo include a show from the the comedy troupe The Second City, One State, Two State, Red State, Blue State; a semi-staged production of the musical On the Town; and concerts from Amos Lee, Trey Anastasio, and cellist Hauser.

The National Symphony Orchestra, meanwhile, has postponed its performances, including a three-week program Beethoven at 250, honoring the composer. The Kennedy Center furloughed all NSO musicians in late March, despite receiving $25 million as part of a federal relief effort. After the orchestra’s union filed a grievance challenging the measure, the musicians were un-furloughed and accepted pay cuts.

This extended cancellation is one of the latest signals that the performing arts community is expecting to remain dark through at least the summer. In early April, organizers of Capital Fringe announced that this year’s edition of the annual theater festival would be cancelled. And last week, local opera company IN Series announced that its entire 2020-2021 series would be conducted online.
