I would imagine that most productions still have their sets in their theaters, but what about costumes, wigs & props?
..and what about tech? I'd imagine the lights, sound, and other mechanical stuff are leased. Have they been loaded-out?

NBC looking to revitalize Broadway with splashy primetime special
A showbiz insider told us: “Producers who have been hurt by shutdown don’t want to spend a lot of money… Some casts are worried that they haven’t performed in six months and need rehearsals and costume fittings because they might have put on a little weight. Some also want to be paid a week’s salary to participate.”
Here I thought NBC would foot the [majority] of the bill for this. Why can't people get paid for this?
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

They mean versus getting paid for the concert day only, or something like that.
Similar to how you get paid a week's salary for a cast recording but only record it (usually) on one day.

They should film the City Center productions of Annie Get Your Gun and Brigadoon with the original cast members. Maybe City Center could have some producing credit and make some money.

Can someone please explain what cast of Rent is performing? It on Broadway over 12 years ago and off Broadway was nearly 10 years ago now. No one cared for Rent LIve!, which was also broadcast on Fox not NBC? Is it more so just previous and notable cast members singing lines of what I would assume is Seasons of Love?

Posted: 11/18/20 at 11:11amI would assume it'll be various alumni singing "Seasons of Love".

I was very confused about this too! Personally, I'm excited to see the sneak peek at shows that will be arriving in the future, as Playbill mentioned in their article. Also, as a country music fan, I'm intrigued to see what Brett Eldredge will be performing - he has a great baritone voice that would be perfect for a lot of Rodgers and Hammerstein/Irving Berlin-era Broadway.

Posted: 11/18/20 at 11:20amJust probably people from previous casts, maybe a tour of Rent that was running, maybe Adam Pascal will show up. Who knows. They are using people who are available I guess. I'll watch and I appreciate an actual date for this unlike the Tonys.

There was a public FB post of Wilson Jermaine Heredia, Daphne Rubin-Vega, and Adam Pascal having checked in to Steiner Studios. It was on Adam's timeline and believe it was on or around Nov. 13, but he's either deleted or hidden it.

Posted: 11/18/20 at 11:37amSorry Lizzie, without a source, link, or correction of something that someone else posted, it's kind of like it doesn't exist.

Oh I do mean it! I mean, it's all you ever do around here anyways. Correct, correct, correct. And when someone does not provide a link?! Oh boy! Be prepared to be shamed by Lizzie. I will never forget when you had the audacity to shame me for quoting Javier Muñoz and NOT provide a link even though so many don't have Twitter here! Annoying. Hilarious. You.
But, I accept it now, so we're cool.

For someone who themselves aggressively goes after people here for transgressions ranging from minor to imagined, you're awfully touchy.

From someone who supports outing a man based on internet rumors and someone's bitchy imagination? Amusing.

Never said that's what I was basing it off of, honey.

Baseless lies are deleted. Yours was due to that reason. The end.

Those were the musicals they got? Disney couldn't even get Aladdin to promote the recording? No Wicked, Phantom (really, it can be two people singing to a pre-recorded track and a projected background THEY ALREADY HAVE), Six, Come From Away... disappointing. I'm glad James Snyder will (probably) get another bit of his Harry recorded, however.
