Performances on the Great White Way, such as “Hamilton” and “The Lion King,” won’t be affected by the strike, the union representing live theater actors and stage managers confirmed. These performers work under a contract negotiated by the Actors’ Equity Association (AEA).
AEA President Kate Shindle nevertheless expressed solidarity with SAG-AFTRA last week. “Performers deserve to share in the success of the work we do for these global, multibillion-dollar companies,” she said. “Nobody should step in front of a camera fearing that today’s work will be mined, manipulated or repurposed in the future without consent or compensation.”
