Spikesgirl Posted November 11, 2007 #1 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Just an FYI to anyone travelling to New York City in the next few days and holding onto theater tickets. The backstage workers union has gone out on strike, closing most of the shows on Broadway. Check before you head out to the theater. This includes "Wicked", "Mama Mia" and "Phantom" as well as many others. This has nothing to do with the writer's strike in LA, it's just bad timing.

okfarmerswife Posted November 12, 2007 #2 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I read on trip advisor that refunds will be given so atleast you won't lose the money spent tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spikesgirl Posted November 12, 2007 Author #3 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Thankfully, yes, the cost of tickets(less handling fees) will be refunded. Also heard that "Young Frankenstein" and "Mary Poppins" are running as usual. The inside word is that those producers ante'd up to the demands of the stage hands. Again, call your theater before you go there. Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHP Posted November 13, 2007 #4 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I just made my first trip to New York to sail on the Victory last month and enjoyed walking about Times Square and Broadway. (although I did not venture out much...small town girl here) I hope everything is resolved soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spikesgirl Posted November 19, 2007 Author #6 Share Posted November 19, 2007 It was announced today that Broadway would remain dark through Sunday as the stagehands and producer haven't even sceheduled talks yet. I've got to wonder how long this will go on as it's costing the city approximately $12 million in associated revenue a day according to one report I read.

Spikesgirl Posted November 29, 2007 Author #7 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Wanted to follow up and say that a tenetative settlement has been reached by the producers and stage hands. Hopefully this will mean lights going back on down on Broadway. Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
