Grinch Live on Broadway: N.Y. Judge Grants Injunction
Saying that one Grinch in New York right now is enough, a state court judge has granted an injunction that provides for a Broadway show based on the Dr. Suess book How the Grinch Stole Christmas to go on.
The play had been shuttered by an ongoing stagehands strike that has also closed a number of other Broadway productions. But state supreme court Justice Helen Freedman ruled today that the lockdown isn’t legal, reports the Associated Press. According to the news agency, theater owners—who plan to appeal the ruling—instituted the lockdown in response to the stagehands strike.
A different contract between the Grinch theater group and the stagehands than the contract that is at issue in other theaters targeted in the stagehands strike apparently was the basis for the judge’s ruling.
