Musicians with the Cleveland Orchestra went on strike Monday to protest pay cuts and other contractual issues, but the group reached a tentative agreement by Tuesday morning. Terms of the new labor agreement were not disclosed. The dispute arose as the orchestra and many other classical music entities struggle with weakening ticket sales and the economy. The New York Times reported that the orchestra had been operating at a deficit for about 10 years, and management was asking that orchestra members take a pay cut of 5 percent for a year. The orchestra's union countered by proposing to freeze salaries at their current rate for a year.

The long-awaited Broadway musical production of "Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark," which now counts former Live Nation Chairman Michael Cohl among its producers, is being delayed yet again.

Continued funding issues reportedly have pushed the scheduled previews for the show from late February back to at least the fall, and now producers are refunding money for tickets purchased. The show's Web site earlier today, however, was still listing the February 25 start date for previews and tickets still being on sale. Tickets were also still being hawked earlier today on Ticketmaster's Web site.

Broadway ticket sales started the New Year on solid ground with revenues for the week ending January 3 reaching $28,089,912, up more than $300,000 from $27,755,973, which was what box offices generated last year at this time. The total fell a bit short from the 2007-08 total of more than $28.3 million, but was well ahead of the previous week’s box office total of $24,334,027.

Another great holiday week on Broadway with ticket sales hitting a high note of $24,334,02, a huge jump from the previous reporting period of $19,707,043. To date, this season comes close to last season with of $613,528,795 compared to $615,518,000 last year. Overall attendance hit 238,974 with seven productions reaching 95 percent or better attendance. Five shows achieved 100 percent or better of their Gross Gross Potential: Wicked at the Gershwin, The Lion King at the Minskoff, Billy Elliot at the Imperial, A Little Night Music at the Walter Kerr and Jersey Boys at the August Wilson in that order.
