NEW YORK, Nov. 21 Cast members from the Broadway musical "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" sang on a New York street Tuesday night after they were kept from performing onstage.
About 30 performers sang "Who Likes Christmas," a number from the show, and led about 200 spectators in chanting, "We want Grinch!"
Striking Broadway stagehands removed their picket line at the St. James Theater, home to "The Grinch," and agreed to go back to work because the show is a limited-engagement production in danger of closing, The New York Post reported Wednesday.
However, Jujamcyn Theaters , the group that owns the St. James, refused to allow the show to go on, arguing it would only be allowed to reopen when the strike is over, the Post said.
Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Helen Freedman scheduled a full hearing on the matter for Wednesday.
