Both the early and late shows at La Nouba were canceled this evening due to a fire. According to eye-witness reports (and fan follow-up), it appears one of the popcorn machines in the lobby caught fire, which in turn triggered the sprinklers which flooded the lobby area of the theater, including offices for stage management underneath. Power was also shut off to the building creating quite a watery mess.
“As of now, We are on normal schedule for tomorrow. But it will all depend on how fast Disney can clean up and clean out. Then our people have to go in and triple check the show systems.”
Costumes and props were all ok. It was more front of house stuff. So they will have to check electrics and automation systems. The water was fairly contained to the lobby and everything underneath that awning.”
“Which contains our front offices and stage management.”
