broadway strike at day 4
Phew. Cancelling Snowshow’s Christmas Broadway run was absolutely the right choice. Our first New York Times ad would have run last Sunday, the day after the strike started. Imagine how we’d be feeling now, on Strike Day 4, with no negotiations taking place. Doesn’t bear thinking about…I opined, when the strike first looked likely, that the producers would cave. (When "The Producers" first opened, one of its producers told me they’d concede in any negotiations – how could they threaten a once-in-a-lifetime smash hit.) How wrong I was. The producers and theatres, thank God, appear unified and strong. Onwards and upwards with the arts!!
