Broadway shows back in business

THEATREGOERS lined up for tickets yesterday as Broadway returned to business following a crippling 19-day strike that cost producers and the city millions of dollars.

Tickets sold at a discounted $26.50 (€17.95) as people lined up for the musical Chicago.

“I never thought I’d have the opportunity to see a Broadway show. And the price is right,” said Susie Biamonte. The play was re-opening with a new cast — Aida Turturro and Vincent Pastore of Sopranos fame.
