Eighties superstar Tiffany was on board to headline a line-up of first-rate entertainers, and tickets were selling like hotcakes.
Then came COVID-19, and by the end of March 2020, everything was shut down and everyone was huddling in quarantine. MetroBall — along with just about every other event folks had been looking forward to for Pride Month — was cancelled.
Organizers were disappointed but not deterred. They set their sights on June 2021 and confirmed that Tiffany and other entertainers could be there for the party then.
