There will be no shows on Broadway until May 30, 2021, at least.

The news comes from The Broadway League, the trade association representing theater producers and owners. According to the press release, the specific dates for returning and new shows will be announced individually, depending on the production schedule for each show.

This is, of course, yet another economic blow from COVID-19.
