SHOWS THAT WILL REMAIN OPEN IF STRIKE

and all OFF-BROADWAY Shows.

What was this last statement that you refer to by Nederlander...? There has been so much flip-flopping concerning their stance and the union's position regarding their theatres that it seems far from certain that Nederlander theatres will not be shut as well. You left The Little Mermaid off of your list by the way...

This was the last word from the Nederlander Org

Of course, saying they won't impose the contract on their stage-hands doesn't necessarily mean they won't NOT come to work.

So many people are in a "no comment" mode right now.

That's the best answer I have for you right now.

Off-Broadway shows operate under various different contracts with the union than the League does and unlike the League's contract -- the Standard Production Contract -- the ones with the off-Broadway theaters are currently valid and unexpired (the union's agreement with most Broadway theaters expired a few months ago), so it actually would be illegal for the union to strike those off-Broadway theaters. That's why there's no strike for off-Broadway, as well as for the not-for-profit Broadway houses (that work under a still valid LORT contract with the union) and those handful of independent theaters (New Amsterdam, Circle in the Square, Helen Hayes) who are unaffiliated with the Shuberts, Jujamcyn or the Nederlanders and have their own separate agreements with the union that are still valid and unexpired.

...This whole thing is just INSANE.

What about The Glorious Ones and Cymbeline at Lincon Center?

It would cancel shows not close. I think Curtains is financially healthy enough to last for a while, some shows like Drowsy may not re-open though.

Read the list before posting.

If the show ain't on the list, it ain't opening.

Though I'm still surprised LCT hasn't submitted info.

Do any of you know if Radio City Music Hall and The WAMU Theatre at Madison Square Garden would be affected by a strike?

Wait, isn't the Palace owned by the Nederlanders? Is Legally Blonde gonna be affected? The article thing didn't say anything about it.

I seriously doubt ANY IATSE workers will be working.
And if there are picketlines at any of those unleagued theatres, other Unions will not cross them.
There's Safety in Numbers, that's what they say.
This STRIKE has to be handled very carefully, let's hope for a quick cure.
Be Strong fellow workers, and restaraunts and stores and Hot Dog vendors.

Who knew I may have seen the last performance of Drowsy Chaperone tonight? This kills me.
