Broadway shut down quickly in the middle of March this year, while more than two dozen shows were running, and a few more had just begun previews. Sadly, none of those shows are onstage now, but they are scheduled to return next year, assuming we find a way to rein in the coronavirus. The current hiatus aside, I wanted to revisit the shows that had performances underway when Broadway went dark but that have plans to return — some are long-running favorites and some you might not be familiar with yet. In any case, we miss you, Broadway, and we're hoping for a quick return. Happy puzzling!
