NEW YORK, Oct. 9 (Xinhua) -- The Broadway League announced on Friday that the suspension of Broadway performances in New York City, which began in March at the start of the COVID-19 outbreak, has now been extended through May 30, 2021.

"With nearly 97,000 workers who rely on Broadway for their livelihood and an annual economic impact of $14.8 billion to the city, our membership is committed to re-opening as soon as conditions permit us to do so. We are working tirelessly with multiple partners on sustaining the industry once we raise our curtains again," said Charlotte St. Martin, president of the Broadway League.
