‘The Book of Mormon’ Cancels Performances Through May 17 After Fire

The Book Of Mormon has canceled performances through May 17 after a fire broke out at the theater the morning of May 4.

However, the production says performances are “anticipated to resume” at the Eugene O’Neill Theater “in the coming weeks.” This comes after the New York Fire Department had initially said there was “substantial” damage to the fourth floor of the electrical room after responding to the fire Monday.

The production said Wednesday that the fire was limited to the follow spot booth, which houses the powerful lights trained on performers onstage, at the theater, according to the production. The exact cause of the fire is unknown.
