Fire Forces Cancellation Of Book Of Mormon Performances
An electrical fire forced the temporary shutdown of the Book of Mormon musical at the Eugene O'Neill Theater on Monday. The fire originated in the theater's electrical room. NYPD Fire Chief David Sims stated the fire caused extensive damage and was difficult to access due to catwalks and electrical equipment. All theatergoers were evacuated safely. The full extent of the damage is currently unclear. Performances of The Book of Mormon are canceled through Tuesday after a fire swept through the production's home theater. FDNY Assistant Chief David Sims stated the fire originated in an electrical room located between the fourth and fifth floors. No injuries or specific damage totals were immediately reported.
