Broadway better get their act together

I've got tickets to see Wicked. I hope that these people can get their acts together because I'll be pretty darn po'd if I have to travel to NYC to see a bunch of picket signs.

As the Broadway stagehands strike enters its third week this weeekend, there doesn't seem to be any way out of the dispute that has shut down more than two dozen plays and musicals since early November (10th).

Everyone is suffering, not only the producers and theater owners, but those who are employed in the theater. Other affected by the domino affect include the local deli or anyother location that theater goers would visit before or after the show.

From what I hear, both sides are hanging tough and have not talked for almost a week. The standoff has meant dark theaters during the Thanksgiving holiday, usually one of the year's best weeks for business.

According to news sources, local 1 of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees says it's willing to meet again with the League of American Theatres and Producers. But the league says it won't go back to the bargaining table unless the union is ready to make a deal.
And none is in sight.

Guess who is making money. The producers set up a $20 million strike emergency fund, taking a couple cents out of each ticket sold over the last several years to pay for it. The money would help struck shows struggling with the costs of a shutdown.
The union has its own fund benefits of more than $4.1 million for its members as well as another $1 million allotted for members of other unions affected by the walkout.
Come on.....can't we just get along?
I just wanna see a flippin' production.
