Posted: 11/10/07 at 10:53amWould it sound naive if I said that some of those shows, ie "Chorus Line" can operate without stagehands?

Posted: 11/10/07 at 11:36amRadio City is not off-Broadway or anything related to legitimate theatre. They have their own separate contracts with stagehands and other unions.

Posted: 11/10/07 at 12:21pmI think it is because they are privatly owned theatres (?)

All theaters are privately owned (with the exception of the New Amsterdam which is owned by the City and State of New York and which currently leases the use of that theater to Disney Theatricals).
The reason that those 8 theatres (as well as all of off-Broadway) are not affected by the strike is that their owners all have separate, still valid and unexpired contracts currently in place with the union. The 28 Shubert, Jujamcyn and Nederlander Theaters all operate under under what is known as the "Standard Production Contract" which expired back in July and must be renegotiated to put a new contract in place. Negotiations broke down, the League (consisting of the owners of those 28 theaters) decided to impose its own new terms and work rules upon the union which the union doesn't agree with and that's why the union has gone out on strike against those theaters and their owners. When the two sides can negotiate and agree on new contract terms, their leaders will sign a new agreement, the strike will end and those shows will be up and running again.

Posted: 11/10/07 at 12:50pmJust how long is the strike likely to last?
#11re: List of Shows playing and NOT playing
Posted: 11/10/07 at 1:26pmCould be three days. Could be three weeks. Nobody really knows. My guess, though, is that it will last up until somewhere around Thanksgiving. That's the beginning of Broadway's most lucrative time and the producers, of course, don't want Broadway to be dark then.

"Chorus Line" can operate without stagehands?
Also, I imagine ACL has a jillion light cues, many of them rather complicated.

Actors aren't getting their normal salaries, but if they come to their theater and sign in for each performance (that's not going on) they are eligible for strike pay from Actor's Equity, which is basically like unemployment (a few hundred dollars per week).
