Broadway Stagehand Strike Over After 19 Days; All Shows Back 11/29

The 19-day Broadway stagehand strike is over, after some intense days of negotiations between the Local One union and The League of American Theatres and Producers. The two sides announced a tentative agreement at a press conference on November 28, 2007. All Broadway shows will perform starting tomorrow, November 29.

The strike put 27 Broadway shows on hold since Saturday, November 10—A Bronx Tale, A Chorus Line, August: Osage County, Avenue Q, Chicago, The Color Purple, Curtains, Cyrano de Bergerac, The Drowsy Chaperone, The Farnsworth Invention, Grease, Hairspray, The Homecoming, Is He Dead? Jersey Boys, Legally Blonde, Les Miserables, The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, Mamma Mia!, The Phantom of the Opera, Rent, Rock 'n' Roll, Spamalot, Spring Awakening, The Seafarer and Wicked. A 28th show, Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas, also affected until an injunction from the Supreme Court allowed the show to restart on November 23.
