Posted: 11/12/07 at 7:18pmComing home? I'm assuming (optimistically, perhaps) that it WILL come. I don't know where they are in process, but previews were to start on Nov. 23rd. Guessing THAT'S not gonna happen. Any word...?

I'm not even sure if they managed to get their set loaded into the theater before the strike (and load-in takes a week by itself) -- let alone had time for tech or anything.
I wouldn't expect them to be able to start previews until at least a week after the strike is over -- which at this point won't be any time soon since neither side is even talking to the other.
Expect previews to be pushed back into December at the earliest and for the opening to be postponed to a month after that.

Posted: 11/12/07 at 8:32pmThis makes me sad, since it's a limited run to begin with.
Now, mother always said that whenever you hear a strange, frightening, and potentially life-threatening ghostly chant coming from the dark woods that there's one thing that you should do: Not wake the others and go investigate it alone...

Posted: 11/12/07 at 8:36pmNot sure what the actors schedules are, but perhaps it might be possible for the show to have an extension to make up for some of the performances lost to the strike.

I'm supposed to go the first week in December.
Let's just hope that the League and Local One can work out their differences soon.
For purely selfish reasons, of course. I want me some Raul!
