WPCNR STAGE DOOR. By Broadway Johnny. November 13, 2007: Westchester Broadway Theatre's Piaa Haas reports the WBT's Phantom is playing nightly at WBT and attracting showgoers whose shows have been cancelled by the stagehands strike affecting New York City shows. Ms. Haas is reporting "The Bells Are Ringing," at the WBT box office for Phantom, (and you get dinner, too!) advising WPCNR:

"We've been receiving many calls regarding the stagehands' strike Westchester Broadway Theatre is not effected as we operate under a different contract. Not to be thwarted, would-be Broadway theatre goers have been making reservations at WBT," Ms. Haas reports.  "Not a bad compromise, as our PHANTOM rivals the Andrew Lloyd Webber version and has even been deemed "better" and "fuller"by the critics. PHANTOM continues here at WBT to our audiences' delight!
