| I had the impression that there had been so much work done in renovating the theatre for this show already. It seems awfully hard on the producers at this late date. Besides, everyone on Broadway has been operating at a loss for the past couple of years. There doesn’t seem to be much cooperation with getting the show up. Remember those days when people would work for union scale just to keep a show running? (Wasn’t it true of the acting companies for Albee’s ALL OVER and the straight play FROZEN?) Seems to me that Everybody is just wanting pieces of pie before it’s even cooked. |

| I’m pretty sure all the musicians work for scale, so if that’s the issue, we’ve solved it. | |

| I am pretty sure you are right about this. Musicians and I think also ensemble members work for scale, even in the biggest hits. | |

| Hard on the producers? They knew about the theater's minimums when it was booked. they should have had that baked into their costs from day one. The fact is simple that the union wouldn't care if the musicians didn't play a note as long as they were paid. Clearly it's the producers that don't want to live up to the negotiated minimums for this house. Additionally, no, not everyone has been operating at a loss for the past couple of years. Plenty of shows are turning healthy profits. |
