 BROADWAY STAGEHANDS ON STRIKE

 

If you’re in New York or en route, here’s the latest on what Broadway shows are performing this weekend and how to get refunds from the League of New York Theatres and Producers.

Due to a strike by Local One, IATSE stagehands, there will be no performances today at many Broadway theatres. Off Broadway shows and several Broadway productions, including CYMBELINE, MARY POPPINS, MAURITIUS, PYGMALION, THE RITZ, THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE, XANADU and YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN will perform this week according to their normal schedules. However, the rest of the Broadway theatres are dark.
