Coronavirus Closed London West End Theatre

The UK government has announced a Coronavirus pandemic financial rescue package for the Arts industry, a £1.15bn support for cultural organisations in England which is made up of £880m in grants and £270m of repayable loans. But venues such as The Apollo Theatre on Shaftesbury Avenue in London's West End Theatreland, where the musical Jamie was abandoned at the beginning of lockdown, will remain closed for the foreseeable future, on 6th July 2020, in London, England. Some theatres in London and others around the country have been wrapped in bright pink barrier tape, which reads "Missing Live Theatre" - a protest project led by stage designers group Scene Change highlighting the closure of the arts and culture arts industry supports 137,250 jobs and is worth £21.2bn in direct turnover.
