I guessed 50,000 once and was told that was too much. So less than that.

I can't imagine he is making that little.  He is a name and he was attached to the show fairly early.

Considering that Bette is making WAAAYYY more than that, to say 50,000 for DHP is too much is ridiculous. He's as much of a name as she is, and if I recall correctly was attached to this before she was. Not knocking YOU, just that whoever told you this sounds possibly misinformed.

You are wrong on EVERYTHING!  He is no way as big a name as she is.  They know who she is all over the world.  And the whole revival was produced for Bette.  He was in no way attached before she was.  I agree he is making more than that. But you are wrong on everything you just said.

Bette is definitely on a different level from DHP, but DHP is certainly making more than $50K.

No one is going to see Dolly for DHP.  He is probably making very little compared to Bette.

Non-star leads (ie. witches in Wicked, Anastasia, Carol King, Kim in Saigon) are making MAX 10 grand (and probably a bit less).  So scale up from there for DHP.

50 K sounds more like what Gavin Creel might be making.  Probably less.  Would be interesting to know what the breakdown is on this show.

I wonder if the ensemble all make more than minimum since they all seem to have a ton of experience. Like there’s very little broadway debuts happening with this show.

Why would Gavin be making 50k? If he’s lucky, he’s making 20k, which I still highly doubt.

I don't know how much he is making.  I just meant that the 50K range rings truer to him.  And he is a broadway name.. so he has a rate.  Also.. I do not know how these i things work; but I wonder if he got a pay bump after the Tony award?  Is that common?

I doubt it.  When you have a star who is making $120+ a week (at LEAST) you need to offset that cost somehow.

Pierce is making around 45k weekly, which is in line with salary for names like Patti LuPone, Audra McDonald, etc.
