I did a search, but found nothing that thoroughly answered my question:
Do actors who perform on cast recordings get a cut of the profits made from the sale of the album? And if so, for how long? I mean I know they get paid for recording the album, but is the pay a one time shot or do they continue to get a cut as long as the album is selling? For instance, would Lansbury and Cariou still be getting "royalties" or whatever from the Sweeney OBCR from the 70's?
This may be a rather common knowledge issue, but I've never really thought about it/ heard about it before. It seems like the actors should get at least a small percentage from the sales, but at the same time it seems like it would be ridiculously complicated to keep up with everyone for so long...
