So I guess..I am not going to NYC today!!

There's a STRIKE !!

For those striking.. Good luck and I wish they resolved this ASAP bec. some other shows specially plays are strugging in the boxoffice already...

I wish August:Osage County survives the strike ( so with other plays like The Seafarer ..so on)

BTW : I was told yesterday that ALL affected TDF Tickets purchased for TODAY SHOWS will be automaticallly refunded to your credit card.

TDF-212-2210013

or.....you could always see a show NOT affected by the strike..as a f-you to the union asses.

I could...but

1) I don't live THAT close

2) I'm trying to stick to some sort of budget when it comes to shows (I bought these tickets over a month ago, so they're paid for)

3) I don't think unions are necessarily a bad thing (as you are suggesting).

(Sidenote: I haven't read up on all of the demands of the union, but obviously they feel as though they are being treated unfairly and want the situation rectified. I don't see a problem with this idea.)

and the true colors finally come out.

you hate unions, and thats clear. Did they not accept you? I'm sorry that no one wanted you around, that must have been tough, really hurt your self esteem. want a hug?

thats like saying me going to see American Gangster today is an F-You to the WGA, which is clearly false. but you're stupid, so i guess i can't be suprised you'd make a claim like that.

Many a stupid person has held a job for an extended period of time. Hell, even Dubya's been the president longer than most.

Tom cruise has been in show biz for 30 years.

Long time employment =/= intelligent.

jaystarr hopefully this is resolved soon.

JayStarr - "The Little Mermaid" will play regardless because shows produced by non-profit organizations or in theaters owned by non-League members would not be affected.
Thank the Gods a few shows will still be playing, including our fave "Xanadu".
But here's hoping for a speedy end to this nasty strike. It affects the city in so many ways.

Jeffrey- I think the TLM is included.

per playbill :

Most Broadway productions will be affected by the strike; that is, the shows will not go on for August: Osage County, Avenue Q, A Bronx Tale, Chicago, A Chorus Line, The Color Purple, Curtains, Cyrano de Bergerac, Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas, The Drowsy Chaperone, The Farnsworth Invention, Grease, Hairspray, Is He Dead?, Jersey Boys, Legally Blonde, Les Miserables, The Lion King, The Little Mermaid,Mamma Mia!, Spamalot, The Phantom of the Opera, Rent, Rock 'n' Roll, The Seafarer, Spring Awakening, and Wicked.

********

Basically all the shows I wanted to see by the end of the year. I also saw a posting on WICKED- and yes.. its will be affected too.

But wouldnt all union members strike? I thought the little mermaid was in a theater with its own contract but would be effected because the members of the union would strike anyway?
