The show will go on!
Broadway musicians reached a tentative labor agreement with theater owners Thursday — thwarting a potentially crippling strike that could have dropped the curtain on nearly two dozen musicals.
The American Federation of Musicians Local 802 — which reps 1,200 musicians — said the long-awaited deal with the Broadway League included wage increases and health fund contribution increases.
“United in solidarity, Local 802 Broadway musicians are thrilled to announce that we reached a tentative agreement at 4:30 am with the Broadway League that will avert a strike scheduled to begin later today,” the union said in a statement.
