Oh, Calcutta!

I remember seeing CATS early in its original run. Ken, as Old Deuteronomy, would stay on stage during intermission and you could walk up and interact with him. I was probably 11 or 12. He was so kind and welcoming. Saw him in several things after that but never forgot that day.

I'll see myself out...

On desktop (safari) the top menu disappears when scrolling down and you have to scroll back up to get it back. I'd suggest that it stays regardless of direction. 

Lola Getz2 said: "How would the ticket holders for cancelled shows be handled? Does anyone know? Refunds? I am sure it might be different for each location, but was curious as to how the venues would deal with a blow like this."

I would presume it will vary by market but like with the Covid delays/cancellations I would bet they will try to get us to keep a credit and hope for a re-scheduled date or that we would apply to a future season. 

For those of you directly affected/attached to this, what do you feel the likelihood of a strike is at the deadline? Is there a feeling that negotiations are continuing in good faith or at a stand-still? 

Critifur2 said: "I think Sunday Funday with John Tartaglia has already been deleted off SiriusXM, but there has been no notification of such anywhere, including simple social media posts. Just gone."

Still listed for Sundays on the Sirius/XM website for the channel. Was the show not on this past week? I'm on a ship presently so can't listen.

If I could choose a seat I would probably go a few rows back, but it's an intimate story that does benefit from being up close."

Thank you so much!

Question for those who have seen it - how high is the stage? Getting tickets and have BB or A center orchestra available but A is premium. Worth the extra? Thanks in advance. 

As someone who worked in radio for over 25 years, I think the most likely scenario is they cut the talent but not necessarily the channels. They could easily automate a Broadway channel with just music, no shows. Many terrestrial radio stations now feature pre-recorded voice tracking, often done in other cities, and those DJs sometimes voice 6-7 stations across the country a day. I could see SIRIUS/XM doing something similar. They already share talent across several channels as it is.
