Broadway Shows Cancelled Due to NYC Air Quality Issues

The Broadway productions of "Hamilton" and "Camelot," as well as a Free Shakespeare in the Park production of "Hamlet," canceled performances due to poor air quality caused by smoke from Canadian wildfires. The Public Theater canceled the final dress rehearsal for "Hamlet" and the first two scheduled previews of the play. Other arts organizations, including Vineyard Theater, New York Live Arts, and BRIC, also canceled performances. Despite the air quality concerns, most Broadway shows continued with their performances due to air filtration systems in the theaters.
