Producers of The Prince of Egypt, the Stephen Schwartz musical based on the classic DreamWorks Animation film, have canceled performances up to and including August 7 at London’s Dominion Theatre.
The production had previously canceled shows July 12–20. The first cancellation followed a single member of the company testing positive for the coronavirus, according to an earlier tweet from the production.
Those with tickets for the affected performances will be contacted via email and be offered the opportunity to exchange tickets for a future date or receive a refund or credit voucher.
In accordance with Government legislation, performances from 28 July-7 August have been cancelled. Ticket holders are being contacted by their point of purchase.
