The union representing Broadway musicians reached a tentative deal on a new contract early on Thursday morning, avoiding a potential strike that had been set to begin later that day and would have threatened many top shows in New York.
In a statement, the American Federation of Musicians Local 802 said it had reached the tentative agreement with the Broadway League – the trade association representing theater owners, producers and operators – around 4.30am on Thursday, preventing a “strike scheduled to begin later today”.
