Blaze at Eugene O’Neill Theatre Triggers Broadway Three-Alarm Fire

TL;DR Summary
A fire at Broadway's Eugene O’Neill Theatre triggered a three-alarm response, with firefighters reporting a deep-seated blaze in the electrical room between floors four and five and later near the roof. One firefighter was mildly injured, all occupants were evacuated safely, and the theater sustained substantial electrical-room damage as investigators probe the cause. The incident disrupted traffic near 49th Street and Eighth Avenue, and while no Book of Mormon performances were scheduled for Monday, the broader impact on future shows remains unclear.
