Radio City Nixes Musicians' Return Offer

A Radio City Music Hall employee points out the cancellation of Wednesday's performance to Otto Porrazza as he reads a handout announcing the cancellation of the 'Christmas Spectacular' after members of Local 802, the New York Musicians Union, the show's musicians, went on strike a day before the show was set to open for the Christmas season, Wednesday, Nov. 2, 2005, in New York. Wednesday's show was a special rehearsal to which some people had obtained tickets.  A spokesperson for Radio City said the show will go on with recorded music.
