As I wrote during the blizzard scare earlier in January, dubbed Hercules: The two questions theatergoers want answered whenever a big snowstorm threatens are:

Will the shows be canceled?

Will there be a snow day discount?

Hercules was a bit of a disappointment, or a relief — depending on whether you’re a kid or a commuter. A total of 6.4″ fell in New York City (as measured in Central Park), not enough for any shows to be canceled — and only a few to offer snow day discounts.

Today, Tuesday, January 21, another storm threatens, Janus, in which the National Weather Service predicts as much as 8 to twelve inches of snow.

Update 3:30 p.m.: As of now, all Broadway shows are going on tonight, according to the Broadway League. for refunds, check with your point of purchase.

Update 4:30 p.m.: Snow deals:

$20 tickets for Machinal or Dinner with Friends (show them a Metrocard); $40 for Bronx Bombers…

And don’t forget: Both 20 at 20, and Broadway Week begin today, with huge discounts, with or without the snow.

Update 5 p.m.: More snow deals

Disaster Musical: $20.

State of Emergency declared in Suffolk, Nassau, Richmond, Kings, Queens, New York, Bronx, Westchester and Rockland counties

NYC Office of Emergency Management: Use mass transportation whenever possible.
