Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to track down the capital costs for Broadway musicals. IBDB nor the League has this, and from what I hear, it takes months to get the information from the Attorney General's Office. I've also done the Variety/Playbill/NY Times route of just looking for mentions of costs in the closing or recoup notices, but this is extremely tedious and seems not be accurate(For example, Spider-Man has been reported to cost $50 MM, $65 MM, and $75 MM by three different publications)
The reason I am looking for this is for the purpose of my dissertation which looks at the Musical Adaptations of film. If you'd like to hear more about the dissertation itself, I'd be happy to share.
Thanks!
