The situation with COVID-19 leading to hospitals being overwhelmed and governments offering new guidelines was sited as the reason for the postponement of the prestigious wards.

“The deteriorating COVID situation in Los Angeles, with hospital services being overwhelmed, ICUs having reached capacity, and new guidance from state and local governments have all led us to conclude that postponing our show was the right thing to do,” the statement said. “Nothing is more important than the health and safety of those in our music community and the hundreds of people who work tirelessly on producing the show.”
