It’s the third extension, after the original targeted date to end the closure, April 12, was pushed back to June 7. Broadway performances were suspended on March 12.

The Broadway League said the group is working with city and state officials to determine when it will be safe to resume performances. Broadway, as an industry, is particularly in jeopardy because patrons tend to skew older and it relies heavily on tourism.
