Rainbow Stage cancels Sunday performance
9:38 PM
Rainbow Stage’s closing performance of Jesus Christ Superstar on Sunday has been cancelled.
The outdoor musical theatre announced on social media Saturday night that it was forced to make the “difficult but necessary decision” to cancel the 2 p.m. show due to high humidex values forecast for Winnipeg.
“We do not believe it is safe or responsible to proceed with an outdoor performance,” the post said.
Rainbow Stage said those with tickets could transfer them to a performance of Legally Blond: The Musical, playing Aug. 13 to 30, donate the value of the tickets to the company and receive a tax credit, or receive a full refund.
Sunday’s forecast high for Winnipeg is 36 C with a humidex of 44.
