A quick google search indicates that venues need to get a majority of their revenue from people buying tickets to see paid artists performing, and from selling concessions to audience members watching performers. It seems pretty straightforward that they were a restaurant with a small theater, probably made more money from the restaurant side of things, and, thus, not eligible for an SVOG grant. I wouldn't call that an " unfair and ridiculous technicality" that kept them from getting those fu...

Broadway Flash said: "Things are ratcheting up in the casino war. The alliance of theatrical stage employees comes out against the casino. How on earth did actors equity get on board with this?"AEA and AFM are both in support of the casino. Probably because the casino said they would hire AEA performers and AFM musicians.

Does anyone know if the co producers who joined for the commercial run were Tony eligible?

Forbidden Broadway had the theatre for the summer with the option to extend into the fall. I bet another rental show is already preparing to take that slot.

DiscoCrows said: "Does anyone know who is producing / managing? When TMO transferred,Barry & Fran Weissler were leading but with general management by RCI."ATG, Amanda DuBois, Annapurna, and Bad Robot are the commercial producers behind it.

Call_me_jorge said: "Just saw the Back to the Future tour audition notice and it will be going out under the level 5 touring agreement, which has a minimum salary of$1,056/week. Compare that to the weekly minimums of the tours for MJ, Hamilton, Six, Moulin Rouge, Frozen, Wicked, and etc which is at$2,403/week. I know the show hasn’t recouped yet, obviously, but for a show that is making well over a million dollars a week on Broadway it is striking that equity allowed the tour to pay so little...

KKeller6 said: "70-80% of all bway shows fail to break even."I know this is the standard thought about Broadway, but im reality, I'll never believe it. Almost envy facet of entertainment claims to be a losing venture. Sports, Broadway. Even" The Empire Strikes Back" claims to have never made any money. Don't believe it for a second. Are there shows that losemoney? Sure. But 70-80% today? No way. It would have dried up ages ago if that were the case.Almost 80% of new restaurants fail, but new ...

Matt Rogers said: "It’s 83% positive on Show score, but only 4 reviews and I’m pretty sure one of them is a shill. However, I just learned that it at another one of these 2 hour plays without an intermission, so I’m out."Truly curious. Do you have the same issue with movies? Barbie's running time is longer than this show.

inception said: "By next spring I'm guessing both the Shubert & the St James will need new tenants"Spamalot is opening in the fall. They have a theater and are waiting on the current show to announce closing before they announce.

DramaTeach said: "Just noticed that Peck posted a few days ago saying, “the run is sold out but stayed turned for future performances in Chicago in January. And then…eyes on New York City 👀.” Doesn’t seem like an “if,” it’s more of a “when.” I feel like that also confirms the types of venues people have been naming. They’re not aiming for Broadway, just NYC." Greg Nobile, producer of Parade and The Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window, among others, is the commercial produc...

B212323 said: "It's been clear for a while Ms. St. Martin does not care about Bway performers though not sure why Equity didn't get involved yesterday"Charlotte doesn't have the power to cancel performances, that rests with the individual theatre owners and producers, or in the case of a major event like this smoke, the executive committee at the league. Charlotte is an administrator, she doesn't make the decision but has an equal vote with the other executive committee members.

MayAudraBlessYou2 said: "I'm not super confident that whatever compromise the Broadway League puts forward will satisfy AEA members. These contracts have gotten to a place where its just pitiful. Inflation and cost of living has been far outpacing touring contracts for yeeeears. And the League just let it get to an extreme where instead of increasing pay and amenities with the times, now there is SO much daylight between what is on offer and what AEA actors need to survive.Explore some social...

BossBroadway said: "Everyone docking this production on its technical elements is not acknowledging the fact that this was produced on a budget of $2 million. Not very much compared to over pre-Broadway tryouts that lose all of its money. The production value would certainly be much higher on Broadway, as well as it's orchestra."The Ahmanson production was closer to $4M (the enhancement was probably about $2M)

ErmengardeStopSniveling said: "fbueller said: "The investor/investment group should be named for transparency."We already know it's either Sam Julyan or James Yeoburn. It was specified as a Lead Producer, and those are the other two lead producers in addition to Hunter Arnold. Both are British, relatively young, and have never worked on Broadway prior to this. And asitsjustmejonhotmailcom said, investments are often discussed in a handshake way during the courting stage and nothing is finaliz...

A couple of things. 1) The producer who departed wasn't investing his personal money. He was raising it from others. 2) In this situation and others like it, an investor didn't "pull out" - they were never in to begin with. Once an investor signs the agreement and wires funds, there is no getting their money back. What likely happened is that an investor committed verbally or over email, but never actually invested. Most producers don't count that as a done deal for exactly this reason. Until...
