Posted: 6/18/04 at 5:28pmI just read that Raisin in the Sun got back its investment. It seems like most shows these days close without recouping their original investment. I was wondering what shows that are on Broadway now have recouped their original investments?

Posted: 6/18/04 at 5:33pmWicked, I am assuming. Since it makes over 1 mil. a week and invested 14. Um, I am not sure what else. Sorry.

Posted: 6/18/04 at 6:10pmActually....I think I read the only shows this season to make back their investment so far are Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Raisin, and...Avenue Q.
The opposite of creation isn't war, it's stagnation.

Posted: 6/18/04 at 7:34pm"Wicked" hasn't announced that it's recouped yet, though grossing $1 million a week, it must be very close.

Posted: 6/18/04 at 8:26pmWicked has not recouped its investment yet. It's making as much as it can, but it's a very expensive show to run.
