(Gigwise) We've heard a lot about the worthless writers of banal garbage who recently went on strike in Hollywood (we say fire them and get people that can write) but across the nation the folks that build sets for equally banal garbage that takes place live on stage have also gone on strike. Yup, we're talking about Broadway. (We can't fault the stagehands for how bad most Broadway productions are. that's like blaming the Key Grip for a terrible movie). Seems that the strike hasn't only hurt the Streisand loving set, concerts at venues there have also be hit. Most notably Duran Duran. 

Gigwise has the story: Duran Duran have been forced to reschedule concert dates in New York after Broadway workers went on strike. The strikes by stagehands � which have affected a number of Broadway productions - lead to the cancellation of the band's performance at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre on Saturday (November 10th). 

The group were coming to the end of a ten-night residency at the famous Broadway venue. Performances scheduled for tonight (November 12th) and Tuesday (November 13th) have now been moved to the Roseland Ballroom. - more on this story
