Broadway In Chicago canceled the May 1 performance of Moulin Rouge! The Musical, at the James M. Nederlander Theatre, following the nearby shooting in The Loop, ABC 7 Chicago reported.
A 27-year-old man and a 55-year-old man were in an alley in the 100 block of North Wabash Avenue—also near the Chicago Theatre—just before 5 p.m. when an unknown offender shot them.
