Broadway theaters in New York City will be closed through May 30, 2021, the Broadway League industry group said on Friday, extending a coronavirus-induced shutdown that has already ravaged the sector.

Broadway theaters were previously set to remain closed through early January 2021, after being forced to shut in mid-March due to the pandemic.
