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.

This makes me sad...I have a ticket to the first preview, which happens to be my birthday. Boo.

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!
