Sir Cameron said the safety of actors and audience was The Most important

theatre producer Sir Cameron Mackintosh has said that The West End and Broadway theatre are unlikely to be able to stage musicals, until the beginning of next year.

Speak, Sir Cameron said, it is impossible for The Theatre for The Future to plan, while the social distance is in place.

"We want to make The Audience feel safe, and we want to feel The Actors to be sure. "

The Theatre in many countries were closed for an indefinite period of time, in response to the Corona-Virus-pandemic.

In the UK, all The West -End, have been canceled performances, at least until the 31.

Sir Cameron is a celebrated theatre owner and theatre producer who staged who has musicals including Cats, Les Miserables and The Phantom of The Opera .

His comments follow calls by other theatre-makers for urgent government rescue measures to save the industry from collapse.

What Sir Cameron has to say?

Sir Cameron said Michael Ball , it looked As If The West End and Broadway "are going to be The Last to go Back ".

"For major producers on both sides of The Atlantic , The Truth is, until the social distance is not available, can't we also plan to re-open," He Said .

"We will be Back , but we need time to get Back to. If we do not listen to [lock feature lifting] in a couple of weeks, I think, The Truth is that we will be able to come Back until the beginning of next year. I think that is quite clear.

"And the longer it is able to say to we, the social distance is gone, the longer will be coming Back for the Theater. "

Sir Cameron has produced many famous musicals, including The Phantom of The Opera

in The Last month, playwright James Graham said, "aggressive government rescue package" would be needed to save UK-theatre of the impact of the pandemic.

In a few months' time, "all the reserves are dried up, and there is No Money anymore," Graham warned.

"I don't even know if there is a theatre-or film-industry, that we can recognize when this is all over. "
