In a show of solidarity and civic responsibility, numerous Broadway shows have decided to go dark on Election Day, November 5, mirroring the actions during the 2016 election.
While many productions will observe this day by not performing, selected shows such as Harry Potter and the Cursed Child will continue their performances as a diversion from political events.
Voting and participation in democracy are often linked to cultural awareness, leading Broadway to this decision to encourage audience engagement through time-off for the election.
Notably, some productions have not even officially opened yet, yet they still choose to pause for Election Day, highlighting the importance of civic duty in the arts community.
