Theatre producer Sir Cameron Mackintosh has said that West End and Broadway theatres are unlikely to be able to stage musicals until early next year.

 

Speaking to Michael Ball on BBC Radio 2, Sir Cameron said it's impossible for theatres to plan for the future while social distancing is in place.

 

"We want the audience to feel safe, and we want the actors to feel safe."

 

Theatres in many countries have been closed indefinitely in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

Not much chance of a bars/pubs opening then or football with crowds.

Highly doubt there will be crowds anywhere (unless it's really avoidable) until a vaccine.

 

On my supposed trip to the UK in June I had booked 2 tickets for Phantom (was taking Mother) at least I will get refunded.
