Curtain up for the “Grinch.” Twenty-six more shows to go.

Performances were to resume at 11 a.m. Friday after a Manhattan judge ordered the reopening of “Dr. Seuss’ How The Grinch Stole Christmas!” amid the ongoing Broadway stagehands strike that has shut down more than two dozen plays and musicals.

Tickets already are on sale through Telecharge or grinchmusical.com for all performances through January 6, the end of the show’s limited holiday run.

The closing of “The Grinch” was the result of a management lockout rather than the strike, with the theater owners refusing to let the musical perform even though the stagehands union said it would work.

“I’m going to grant the injunction” against the lockout, state Supreme Court Justice Helen Freedman said Wednesday. “I think one Grinch in town is enough.”

Judge Freedman’s ruling came a day after she heard arguments from producers of the show and owners of the theater housing the $6 million production. Producers, citing a special contract between the show and Jujamcyn Theaters, wanted the show to go on.

A spokeswoman for the musical, Jodi Hassan, said an appeal of the court’s decision by the theater’s owners had been postponed indefinitely. Calls to Jujamcyn executives were not immediately returned.

“We got our miracle on 44th Street,” a “Grinch” producer, James Sanna, said. “We have 11 shows this Thanksgiving weekend, and we hope that the families and children will come out and join us.”

Meanwhile, The Nederlander Producing Co. and producers of seven shows in its nine Broadway theaters have filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Manhattan seeking $35 million in damages from striking union members.

Nederlander said the strike against it is unlawful because it has a separate contract with the stagehands union Local 1 than other producers do.

The $35 million represented revenues lost since the strike began, including lost ticket sales, concessions, and merchandise. Nederlander theaters currently house “Grease,” “Wicked,” “The Drowsy Chaperone,” “Rent,” “Hairspray,” “Legally Blonde,” “The Little Mermaid,” “The Lion King,” and “Cyrano De Bergerac,” a limited run play starring Kevin Kline that’s scheduled to close December 23.

A spokesman for Local 1, Bruce Cohen, said the union had not yet seen the lawsuit and could not comment.

In the case of “Grinch,” Jujamcyn owners said the lockout was legal and a tactical decision by the theater owners in handling the strike. An attorney for the owners said his clients had no assurance that the stagehands would not walk out again if the show resumed at the St. James Theatre, which is owned by Jujamcyn.

The dispute between the stagehands union, Local 1, and the League of American Theatres and Producers is focused on how many workers are required to open a Broadway show and keep it running.

Stagehands include scenery and prop handlers, carpenters, electricians, and lighting and sound technicians. They have been working without a contract since the end of July.
