Shea’s To Resume Broadway Shows December 1st

WIVB-TV announced last night during their 5 pm News that the show will go on at Shea’s as the performing arts center announced that Broadway performances will resume in December 2020.

“We are so grateful to the Buffalo community and can’t wait to welcome each of you back to Shea’s,” said Michael G.Murphy. “As we prepare for reopening, the health and safety of our patrons, volunteers, artists, and staff remains our top priority. Our team is consulting with health and safety experts, colleagues around the country and government officials to ensure that when we reopen, every precaution will be taken to ensure your safety.”
