The Grinch Is Back

he Grinch has returned to Broadway.

A New York judge has ruled the show “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” can reopen since the Theater owners and the stagehands union have a separate and distinct contract.

Broadway producers 1. Stagehand Union 0.

The Local one union went on strike before Thanksgiving because the Broadway producers did not want to pay for what they considered idle time.
The Union saw this as a hard won benefit and did not want it to be removed without some other concession.

All the other theater owners will be waiting in line to see what was written into the Grinch contract.

Just to keep things interesting and dramatic (it is Broadway of course), the theater owners arranged for many of the child actors t sit in the front row of the courtroom during the proceedings. A joyous applause erupted at the ruling.

In realted news , a group of producers has filed a suit against the union for $35M dollars citing lost ticket sales, concessions and merchandise.

Still developing…
