Fire Breaks Out on Roof of Broadway’s Eugene O’Neill Theatre —

The Eugene O’Neill Theatre is currently home to The Book of Mormon, which has played there since 2011. There were no scheduled performances Monday, and as of the CBS report, there was no word yet on whether the incident would impact Tuesday’s performances.

The Eugene O’Neill is not just another Broadway address. It is a historic theatre, and for the past 15 years it has been the home of one of the biggest musical comedy hits of the modern era.

We here at are wishing everyone at The Book of Mormon, the Eugene O’Neill Theatre, and the surrounding Broadway community well today. Hopefully the damage is limited, the building is safe, and the company can return when it is appropriate to do so. For now, the best news is the one detail that matters most: no injuries have been reported.
