Oh, for crying out loud!

Times writer Robert D. McFadden reports on tough times around Times Square:

"As if the Grinch really had stolen Christmas, children cried and parents were crestfallen. Confusion, surprise and anger played at box offices, and dispossessed theatergoers shared the sidewalks with grim pickets yesterday as the stagehands’ strike shut down most of Broadway’s plays and musicals."


Hint to despondent Broadway theatergoers and their crying kids: There's this little thing called dance, and it's live and it's really cool, and it's all over New York, and the tickets are way cheaper and usually quite easy to get.

Check it out!

UPDATE
More about the Broadway stagehand strike and still no word about dance as an alternative!
