NEW YORK (WABC) — A 3-alarm fire is burning at a Broadway theater in Manhattan.<\/p>\n

The fire broke out just before 10:30 a.m. Monday at the Eugene O’Neill Theatre on West 49th Street.<\/p>\n

The Broadway venue is currently showing “The Book of Mormon,” but no performances are scheduled for Monday.<\/p>\n
