Statement from the League of American Theatres and Producers
We are profoundly disappointed to have to tell you that talks broke off with Local One, IATSE tonight, and that no further negotiations are scheduled.
We presented a comprehensive proposal that responded to the union’s concerns about loss of jobs and earnings and attempted to address our need for some flexibilities in running our business. The union rejected our effort to compromise and continues to require us to hire more people than we need.
Out of respect for our public and our loyal theatergoers, many of whom are traveling from around the world, we regret that we must cancel performances through Sunday November 25.
--Charlotte St. Martin
Executive Director
The League of American Theatres and Producers, Inc.

Going to a musical late in its run is like going to a prostitute late in her shift.

Posted: 11/18/07 at 10:58pmAs horrible as this is, at least they cancelled for the week and didn't go on a day by day basis allowing those traveling to make alternate plans should they wish.

Posted: 11/18/07 at 11:04pmWow... This is really depressing... At this point it doesn't look so good for the next couple of weeks. How long do you guys think this will drag on for?

Posted: 11/18/07 at 11:04pmThe Grinch will probably post a closing notice this week, I would imagine. They're going to lose 15 sold-out shows this week.

Posted: 11/18/07 at 11:07pmI used to be mad at the producers. Now I've decided I hate them all. Well, if this closes Spring Awakening I am going to be inexpressably angry.
I know you.

Posted: 11/18/07 at 11:07pmIs it really possible for the producers to recoup all the money that will be lost this week just from what they want cut from the stagehands?
