"Broadway has a long tradition of performing even during the most difficult circumstances, and we look forward to continuing in that tradition during this transit work stoppage," commented Jed Bernstein, President of The League of American Theatres and Producers, Inc. "As was the case during the 1980 transit strike, 'the show will go on' and we will continue to do everything that we can to ensure that our performers and production staffs can get to work safely and on time, hopefully playing to full houses."

There are tickets available for all of the current Broadway shows. For tickets, Broadway fans are encouraged to call Telecharge or Ticketmaster, order online, or drop by theatre box offices close to curtain time for cancellations.

All ticketholders are encouraged to leave extra time for safe travel to the theatre. Ticketholders who are unable to get to the theatre for a performance during the strike, can exchange tickets at the point of sale for another date. However, refunds will not be offered.

"In the event of a full-system MTA strike in New York City, all events will be happening as scheduled. Most New York venues are within walking or taxi distance of Penn Station and Grand Central Station, and commuter trains into these stations will not be affected," states the Telecharge website. Ticketmaster, too, is following the same policy.
