Drea De Matteo was among the many people displaced Thursday in New York City's East Village after an apparent daytime gas explosion and the subsequent fire caused one building to collapse and two to partially collapse while a fourth was damaged.

Five performances of the show "Stomp" scheduled to happen Friday, Saturday and Sunday at a theater in the area were canceled, according to the show's website.
