. . . recouped its investment, does that mean that everything from here on, minus the weekly nut, is profit?

Yep, pretty much. There may occasionally be extra expenses for advertising etc .... but for the most part it's all profit from now on for the investors. Also, Shanley and the other royalty partcipants (Hughes the director, et al) may see a bump up in their payments.

God damn, to recoup an investment in 15 weeks for a Broadway play (okay, so it was ONLY $2 Mill., but still)...that has got to be one group of happy producers. Carole Shorenstein Hays, Manhattan Theatre Club, Roger Berlind and Scott Rudin - not to mention the actors, Doug Hughes, and John Patrick Shanely - should be thrilled and proud of that play. Not only is it a complete brilliant piece of work, but...that play shows no signs of stopping anytime in the near future. It's weekly till is higher than some Broadway musicals - and those are about to be a VERY happy group of people.

I thought, as good as it was, it could have been better with an extra 20 minutes with more character development of both lead characters. Just a thought

This is really a case where a less cryptic subject line might be in order. Congratulations to Doubt.
