Broadway Shows Threatened by Stagehand Strike
NPR: "The Great White Way remains mostly dark as some 20 shows have shut down because of a strike by Broadway theaters' stagehands. A long strike means some shows could close. Both sides are trying to set up a negotiating session on Sunday. The union wants to preserve certain work rules to protect members who don't work on shows open 52 weeks, but those that close after a couple of months or weeks."

Well this is a given that some shows may end up not ever coming back. No shows means no income. Big shows like Wicked will be just fine because they know that the show will rake in money. But smaller shows just won't be able to make it if the strike goes through Christmas. It's mostly common sense really.
