Thanks so much, Kad.

I am guessing that would mean Mamma Mia also would probably perform as they're on a touring contract, no?

I don't know what agreement they're on, but if it's indeed not a Production contract, then they would not be subject to any labor action.

From AEA: “Tours and LORT shows (like Mamma Mia, Beetlejuice, Punch, Marjorie Prime, or Ragtime) would not go on strike because they are not under the Production Contract. This is also true for non-League productions (like Little Bear Ridge Road). And because their agreements will not be expired, they will still have a no strike clause in effect.”

I've asked this question in a couple of places but I'm still confused. Are Mamma Mia and Beetlejuice on the tour agreement or were they given a production contract? If they're on a tour contract... how does that work in this situation? Strike or no.

The stagehands' strike in 2007 saw the majority of shows go dark(Nov. 10-28). 8 shows still operated like Young Frankenstein, Mary Poppins & Xanadu. Similarly, off-Broadway were not affected.

I'd waager this is notthe take of someone who has had to keep a business open before."

If there is a strike, QoV should use that as an out and never open that production."

I imagine they have to say/project these things, to force those at the table to take it seriously.
