Last week, Broadway in Jackson officials traveled to the capital city to advocate for proper care and repair of the venue.
“We have made ourselves available and are assisting the City and Thalia Mara Hall management to help them navigate the challenges facing the theatre and ensure that the venue is clean, safe, and comfortable,” they said.
Officials said they’re satisfied with the initial steps and commitment to return Thalia Mara Hall to its proper condition and status.
They said the city has hired the Center for Toxicology & Environmental Health (CTEH) to investigate, perform laboratory analyses, and assess all substances uncovered through their rigorous testing protocols. They also said the city has hired Belfor to handle the remediation and repairs required to ensure that the venue is safe, healthy, and comfortable for all guests.

“We stand with you, our most loyal supporters, friends, and guests. Thalia Mara Hall, this critical civic institution, must be maintained at the highest standards in order to keep the best in live entertainment coming to Jackson, MS, and audiences coming in to enjoy it,” officials said. “Your commitment and investment in Broadway in Jackson is critical to our ability to bring the Best of Touring Broadway direct from New York to Mississippi. We will never put you and your families at risk by asking you to attend an event in a venue that is not safe and healthy.”
If Thalia Mara Hall is deemed unsafe or a Broadway in Jackson or Jackson Live show is cancelled, officials said guests will receive a full refund for the shows affected.
