I was just wondering today- don't know if it's secret. Thank you.
Last Broadway strike- what changes resulted?

Nothing as prices keep going up with more increasing regularity.

It's not a secret. Here's a quick overview of the settlement:

I don't recall ticket prices even being part of negotiations. Stagehands don't regulate ticket prices.

That doesn't matter to Roxy. He just complains about it in every thread possible. Pay him no mind.

I guess no one else "complains" on this board. I liked you better when you were 315
To Eris
Stagehand salaries play a big part in ticket prices going up. As operating costs go up so do ticket prices.

While labor often is a large part of the financial equation, my observation is that producers do a lousy job of reigning in their creative team. This often results in stagehands standing around or making changes because someone in the creative team wanted something different -- didn't communicate it, didn't draw it right on the plans, or simply weren't at the theatre to give adult supervision. Blaming these costs on labor when management is frequently disorganized is passing the buck.

Both labor & management are to blame. The loser is the theater going public.
