| Just the Shows: Who's Playing Nov. 12 and Who's Not
Broadway will be completely dark Nov. 12, since the eight Broadway productions that are unaffected by the stagehands strike offer no Monday-night performances. The few Broadway shows that do have Monday-night shows as part of their weekly schedules are affected by the strike and therefore dark. (Although it is not a Broadway show, the Marquis Theatre will welcome theatregoers Nov. 12 for The Third Annual Benefit Concert: A Cause For Celebration! The union has agreed to allow the benefit to go on despite the strike.) The eight Broadway shows that are running and will resume performances Tuesday, Nov. 13 follow:
Cymbeline at the Vivian Beaumont Theater
Mary Poppins at the New Amsterdam Theatre
Mauritius at the Biltmore Theatre
Pygmalion at the American Airlines Theatre
The Ritz at Studio 54
The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee at Circle in the Square
Xanadu at the Helen Hayes Theatre
Young Frankenstein at the Hilton Theatre Broadway shows that will be dark until further notice:
August: Osage County at the Imperial Theatre
Avenue Q at the Golden Theatre
A Bronx Tale at the Walter Kerr Theatre
Chicago at the Ambassador Theatre
A Chorus Line at the Schoenfeld Theatre
The Color Purple at the Broadway Theatre
Curtains at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre
Cyrano de Bergerac at the Richard Rodgers Theatre

Strike has limited impact on county
The Rockettes are saving the day for some Connecticut-based ventures trying to overcome the stagehand strike that's darkened parts of Broadway. On Saturday, the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees Local One went on strike, forcing the curtain to remain down on 28 shows, including "Chicago," "Spamalot" and "Rent." But Connecticut-based businesses that otherwise would be hurting because of the strike say the Rockettes and their show at Radio Music City Hall are helping them keep clients and customers traveling between Connecticut and the Great White Way. AAA Connecticut Motor Club's Fran Mayko said Monday the bus tours her organization arranged to New York City probably won't be affected by the strike because there are only two on the schedule in the next three months.
