That's not even a question. She is absolutely taking a percentage of the box office.

I was. LIZA'S BACK!

"Accretes" Hogan, really, I don't wanna hang out with you any more.

In ADDITION to her royalty? What is she doing? Walking in and telling the treasurer to get his hands up? LOL

It's still a royalty, no matter how enhanced it might be.

I didn't notice you were gone. But "knowledge is the wing wherewith we fly to heaven." (Shakespeare, W.) so if you have some, great.

The problem with your logic is that the producers aren't putting money "into the show" == they are paying people for goods and services. People are earning salaries, people are selling their wares, and their crafts.

It's not like there is a little box called "In Transit" and the money goes in there and sits quietly.

All of the people who are part of the economic machine called "In Transit" are benefiting every night from this show, regardless of the "art" of it. That includes the performers of course, but it also includes all the house staff, and the vendors who provide it, and the restaurants who feed the people coming to the show, and the taxis, etc etc.

Without getting into the politics of it -- I think most people would rather have a good paying job than being eligible for benefits.
