I have to say that headshots, vocal coaches, etc. are also paid by non-working actors who make their living working in restaurants and temping, so those costs are not accounted for in the Broadway salary. Also, depending on where one lives in NYC, that weekly salary can be the months rent...therefore, one would have 4200 left over for the month...and with bills, maybe have 3800 left. That is more than enough to live happily. However, we can't forget about those "Good Vibration" actors who are now collecting Unemployment.

Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.
