NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — The lights of the Great White Way will not go dark for Joan Rivers, the Broadway League said Monday.

Rivers died last Thursday at Mount Sinai Hospital at the age of 81, a week after going into cardiac arrest during a routine vocal cord procedure at an Upper East Side clinic.

The Broadway League, which represents theater owners and producers, told the New York Times that it had decided Rivers did not meet the criteria for dimming the lights on theater marquees in the traditional industry honor for deceased theater celebrities.
