Broadway Strike Day 3: no talks, no progress
Day 3 of the strike on Broadway fell on a Monday, the day of the week when most of Broadway shows are usually dark anyhow. There was no news today from the stagehands union or the producers -- and no talks are scheduled.
Here's what was reported:
Attendance is up at some Off-Broadway houses by about 30 percent, Crain's reports.
Two shows -- "The Seafarer" and "The Farnsworth Invention" -- will likley have to rescedule their opening nights due to the strike, according to Playbill.
On the refund front, Telecharge is offering refunds in full but Ticketmaster is pocketing your $3.10 per ticket "processing fee," according to blogger Steve on Broadway.
None of the members of the other Broadway unions crossed the picket lines, including actors, musicians, makeup artists, or even press agents, according to the New York Times.
Although some tourists have said they're flying home early due to the strike, Crain's reports that the hotels "haven’t seen any significant cancellations."
