Despite snowfall on Broadway, the shows go on

[January 13, 2011]  NEW YORK (AP) -- A winter blast dumping snow as it makes its way up the East Coast hasn't shuttered Broadway theaters.

The Broadway League says it doesn't expect any closings Wednesday despite several inches of snow in New York City. Some shows are even trying to lure theatergoers with special offers.

"The Importance of Being Earnest," "La Cage aux Folles," "Mamma Mia!", "The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore" and "Memphis" are some of the shows that have big one-day discounts for orchestra and mezzanine seats.

The Public Theater's "Under the Radar" festival is unaffected by the snowdrifts.
