Grease live costs and actor salaries

Just curious if anybody has a ballpark figure what a production like Grease live costs to make and what type of salaries do the major actors such as Aaron and Julianne earn for such a performance. Also wondering if they both would get equal salaries based on their popularity. I presume most of the money is made from DVD and CD sales afterwards I just wondering how profitable such a production can be when all is said and done.....

Is that information published bc I figured Hough is the more known face/name of that pair

I believe I read an article that the production had a $12-$16 million budget.

AFAIK- Giving money to the church cuz she's religious?

She's not religious. She's Mormon. And that's why the character's name was changed to Sandy Young. In lieu of salary for the actress.

It doesn't matter if she's Mormon or Pentecostal most religions ask for members to tithe. It's pretty standard even if most don't comply. Anyway, I doubt that she was paid less.

Julianne hough probably got more. Although the most money was probably being paid out to Ana Gasteyer.

I agree that I think Ana Gasteyer was probably paid the most, but HelloB, how do you not know who Aaron Tveit is???

Julianne, Vanessa, and Carly Rae are the three big names they were promoting on every television spot. They only included Aaron on the spots because he's a lead and it would have been weird not to include Danny. The three girls probably got the most.

You're not the arbiter.

I'm telling you. Fox tried to underpay Gillian Anderson for X-Files, you're know they were all, "Sandy, you can take home the slut outfit."

I'd imagine Carly getting a good chunk as they wrote a new song just for her character. That's some pull.
