I don't think I'd read *too* much into that. Every production will make its own decision. The Booth was presenting Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf? with Laurie Metcalf. The show was in previews I think for about a week before the shutdown; opening was supposed to be early April. But it was pretty quickly announced that the show would not open. The timing of the load-out is probably related to being able to get (union) workers in to do it now that the pandemic is more or less under control here.
Other shows have also announced they won't be re-opening (e.g., Frozen), and others are still planning to come back, although of course timing is still up in the air.
