Broadway
On March 12, 2020, the Broadway theatre in New York suspended all its shows in the wake of the Coronavirus spread. The theatre’s president, Charlotte St. Martin, recently stated that they had initially hoped to reopen the theatre from April 13, 2020. Still, due to the infection spread, the reopening date has been shifted to May 2021. The extension has left 97,000 workers jobless, and the theatre has experienced an annual loss of $14.8 billion.

Matrix 4
Now this one is a bummer. Keanu Reeves has been everyone’s childhood crush, especially after the release of the sci-fi movie series, The Matrix. When the makers announced that The Matrix 4 would release on May 21, 2021, the fans were full of joy because the fourth installment was coming after 17 years.

There’s actually a lot more on the list…
We could go on, but it would only add to the heartache. The silver and TV screens could have witnessed so much had COVID-19 not stepped in. But what happens, happens. For now, let’s just keep our fingers crossed and hope that the vaccines work and everything gets back to normal.
