a couple of the shows wanted to collect money for the hurricane effort. the standard routine is that they have to go through the theater owners for permission. assuming that they would get this permission one of the shows started collecting before the word came down. jimmy nederlander found out and told the show that they could not collect. he stopped two shows in nerderlander houses from collecting. do with this info what you will.

I think Wicked will... they always pick up a good cause... but why stop it? It's only an extra minute and a half to delay closing up shop in the theatre, and a little bit of extra paperwork... I realize that in a happy show, to talk about the hurricane could be a bit of a downer (at least that was my principals excuse when I wanted to collect for BCEFA after our prod. of Fiddler... but w/e) but it'd also let people feel that they were helping with a good cause. Not that they'd really give that much thought to it... erk...

that's a really big mic...

Legal ramifications. Pure and simple.

That was a really stupid PR move on his part.
