On Broadway, the show(s) must go on — for now
Broadway theaters are keeping their doors open — at least for now — as a blizzard bears down on Times Square, the Associated Press reports.
The Broadway League says all shows are scheduled to go on Monday, a traditionally quiet night with only a few shows available. No firm decision about Tuesday has been made, the AP said. -
New York City mayor: 'Get off the streets'
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio declared a winter weather state of emergency, announcing the closure of schools Tuesday and ordering city residents off the streets.
"This will most likely be one of the largest blizzards in the history of New York City," de Blasio said at a midday news conference. "I'm ordering that at 11 o'clock tonight our streets will only be available to emergency vehicles."
Parks will be closed at 6 p.m., de Blasio said."We need to let sanitation, police, fire do their jobs." - Mayor @BilldeBlasio. Live on http://t.co/10woiev32p. #SafeNYCJan. 26, 2015- Reply

Keeping an eye on Uber
The last time a major snowstorm hit New York City, in Dec. 2013, the taxi app charged customers up to seven or eight times the normal fare, drawing the ire of riders and the attention of New York State Attorney General’s Office.
Last July, Uber reached an agreement with Attorney General Eric Schneiderman "to limit its price surging practices during emergencies and natural disasters," Capital New York reports.
On Monday, Schneiderman said he would monitor the taxi app's operations during the blizzard. -

Broadway cancels shows

The show must go on — just not tonight.
With the city operating in a state of emergency as it braces for potentially historic snow, all Broadway shows were canceled Monday.
Earlier, the Broadway League said Monday night's shows would go on as planned. But after Mayor Bill de Blasio urged all New Yorkers to remain indoors, officials decided to shut down the theater district. -

Louis CK announces cancelation of MSG show in letter to fans
With New York City bracing for a blizzard, Louis CK's sold-out show at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday has been canceled. The comedian made the announcement in a letter to his fans:
Dear friend,
Hi. It's Louis CK here to make sure everyone knows that my show show tomorrow at Madison Square Garden has been canceled. All ticket holders will automatically get a refund. I am really sorry about this and I am surprised to learn as I write this that there is only one L in the word canceled. I'll have to take my phone's word for it. But it doesn't look right to me.
In any case, there seems to be a massive storm approaching New York City. They are calling this storm "historic" which.... Well I didn't know you could call a thing historic if it hasn't happened yet. But I'm not one to defy future historic events. And I have to be respectful of the responsibility I have to the 15,000 people who are holding tickets to the show and could be stranded somewhere historically trying to get to or from my show. I think it's clearly better that I alter history in the name of safety and cancel. Besides, if you've ever tried to get your deposit back when you rent a banquet hall for a wedding that gets snowed out, you don't want to even know what the deposit is on Madison Square Jesus Christing Garden is.
So. No show. I will be on Letterman tonight, though. So you can yell boo right at my stupid and very handsome face on your tv screen or on your paper towel or your watch or whatever you view Letterman on.
Also I will be contacting you very soon about my new standup special which will be historically available only on my website louisck.net very soon.
I really want to thank everyone who came to the shows at MSG. It was an incredible experience. The audiences were great. And the crew at MSG is classy and professional.
Okay. That's it. I have to do some laundry now.
Take care of yourself and don't be a jerk to people.
Louis CK. -
