Broadway is slashing ticket prices in response to the coronavirus — as travelers cancel their trips to the Big Apple or otherwise hunker down to protect themselves against the deadly bug.

Producer Scott Rudin said Tuesday he’s cutting all remaining ticket prices for March performances to $50 for a slew of popular shows.

The productions include Broadway newcomers “West Side Story,” director Sam Mendes’ “The Lehman Trilogy” and “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” starring Laurie Metcalf and Rupert Everett, as well as “To Kill a Mockingbird” and long-running Tony winner “The Book of Mormon,” which premiered in 2011.

Standard top prices for those shows typically soar past $200, with premium seats for hits like “The Lehman Trilogy,” which chronicles the history of Lehman Brothers, currently selling for $460.

The $50 tickets will be available at the box office and at Ticketmaster.com and Telecharge.com beginning Thursday at noon for performances from March 12 through 29.

“These are shows that are playing to fantastically healthy business,” Rudin told the Hollywood Reporter. “My partners and I want the buildings full — even, and especially, during this crisis — and this is the way to ensure it. I don’t want the actors looking into a sea of red velvet. Nobody wants that. I want no deadwood in these buildings — and my colleagues and I want to give people the chance to see these shows when they otherwise might not be able to afford tickets or to even get tickets.”

In the week ending March 8, the Great White Way actually saw a 2.3 percent increase in sales, to $26.7 million, over the prior week — and a 3.7 percent bump in attendance, to 253,453, according to the Broadway League.

Broadway insiders credited the boom to a host of new debuts, including “West Side Story” and “Six,” a British pop musical about the six wives of Henry VIII.

Nevertheless, sources predict other producers will follow Rudin’s lead in order to keep seats filled at a time when health experts are advising people to limit travel and avoid large crowds as coronavirus spreads.

“I think everyone is nervous,” one producer said. “We’re going into the busiest season for Broadway, mid-March through June. More shows open in the next eight weeks than any other time.”

“A movie can get moved,” the source added, citing the recent postponement of the upcoming James Bond film, “No Time To Die” from April to November.

“A theater can’t do that. If you run into an empty house in two weeks, your show is going to close.”

Just last week, theatergoers were encouraged to stay home if they have flu-like symptoms. The Broadway League also announced that they “significantly increased” cleaning and disinfecting theaters, both backstage and in public areas. The organization also said it is “closely monitoring” the situation.

“We invite patrons to make use of soap, paper towels and tissues available in all restrooms,” the Broadway League advised. “We remain vigilant, and we are prepared to make decisions based on current recommendations, as well as in response to changing conditions.”

Forbes also raised the question of how much impact Broadway could feel since, it reports, Broadway audiences are comprised of 70% out-of-town tourists — many of whom could be grappling with canceled flights.

“Any event that would drive people away from congregating in the area will be a disaster,” says Tom Viertel, producer of “The Band’s Visit,” “Angels in America” and “Hairspray.” “Broadway will absolutely be affected. How long it will be affected, and whether there’ll be empty theaters, who knows?”
