The Strike - First Hand

Outside of the Music Box Theatre, home to "The Farnworth Invention". The only thought that comes to mind is, "I was supposed to see that!"

The TKTS booth and walkway underneath the Marriot Marquis hotel. On any given day there are at least two waves of people lining up to get discount theatre tickets, today was not one of those days.

The TKTS board during the strike. The left side usually displays all Broadway show offering discount tickets. Normally this board has over ten shows on it. Today, there is only four. In contrast the right side is displaying all off-Broadway shows selling discount tickets. Off-Broadway theatres are theatres with less than 500 seats. During the strike, off-Broadway business has been booming, and that's putting it mildly.

Stagehands striking outside the theatre of "A Chrous Line"; often called the show that saved Broadway.

Local news stations cover the strike outside the Majestic Theatre, home to Broadway's longest running show "The Phantom of the Opera".

One day more.....NOT! Stagehands on strike outside the Broadhurst theatre, home to Les Miserables, the second longest running show in Broadway history.
