If you're going to be insulting, you could at least try to make some sense. Yes, stagehands will make overtime during the inevitable 14 hour days trying to make this absurd changeover happen. What of it? They shouldn't be properly compensated for spending 2 solid weeks of 14 hour days in a theater trying to make this happen?

The stagehands haven't set this ridiculous turnaround - the producers have. They wanted to squeeze the last dime from one star-driven (if excellent) production before shoe-horning in another in time to make the Tony cut-off. Their choice. Their decision. Not the stagehands'.
