A list of all Broadway shows that are open on election day 2016, a day that is expected to be an historical event in the US

New York City Street Closures For Election Day:
Many streets in NYC are closed as both election campaigns plan to have their election celebrations in Midtown in NYC. The celebration for Hillary Clinton will be at Clinton’s headquarters at the Javits Center on Eleventh Avenue at West 34th Street. Trump’s celebrations will be at the Hilton Hotel on Avenue of the Americas (Sixth Avenue) at West 53rd Street. There are street closures surrounding both the Hilton Hotel and the Javits Center. Both locations will be closed from 6 PM November 7 until 6 AM November 9: Javits Center: West 34th Street between the West Side Highway and 11th Avenue Eleventh Avenue between West 34th Street and West 40th Street Hilton Hotel: Sixth Avenue between West 53rd Street and West 54th Street Seventh Avenue between West 53rd Street and West 54th StreetThe following Broadway shows will go dark on Tuesday, November 8, 2016:
Beautiful: The Carole King Musical Cats Chicago The Color Purple The Encounter The Front Page The Humans Kinky Boots Les Liaisons Dangereuses Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812 Oh Hello on Broadway On Your Feet! Paramour The Phantom of the Opera School of Rock Something Rotten! Waitress Wicked
What is surprising, is that Hamilton is open for business, especially given that the show is so politically focused. Many Broadway shows did an extra show on Monday, when they would normally be dark, to compensate for the missed show (and revenue) on election day.Twelve Broadway shows are still open for business on Tuesday, November 8, 2016:
