A group of friends and I had TDF tickets for this Wed matinee and just got an e-mail stating we were getting a refund because the performance was cancelled. Anyone know why?

Something went wrong.
Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

according to their schedule, there's no Wednesday matinee this week. They have a Sunday evening performance instead.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

I've already seen it and enjoyed it very much. I just think it's odd--even rude--to sell 9 tickets and then rescind them with only a few days' notice.
I've noticed that they're only giving 7 performances this week. How does EQUITY allow this?

I agree, they should wait until half hour and then tell people...

Equity doesn't have any control as to how tickets are sold. If the producers want to cancel a performance Equity can't stop them, only make sure that the cast is still paid for that performance if notice wasn't given to them in accordance with the contract.

Sunday is last week.
But it could be an awkward changing of the schedule.
And, yes, Equity only cares that their people are paid correctly, not how many performances they do.
Sorry for your disappointment.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

They have a Sunday evening performance this week, too. They're doing 8 shows this week. Tues-Fri evenings, with two shows on Saturday AND Sunday.

Equity certainly cares about too many performances in a week, but very rarely do they care about too few.

Your group is probably surprised when they are given the choice to see anything BUT Dolly.

That's almost true. Even straight men have taken to calling me "Dolly" and I answer to it.
