Rock of Ages Cast Recording?

Royalties and fees?

Alright, well it costs (on average) about $15 to obtain a MCL for each song and then, if they work out a deal at the statutory rate with each ownership, 9.1 cents of each track (of each sold album) goes to the deemed authors/owners of each song.

So it's not THAT much...

This is not even a musical. It's an annoying rock concert that has somewhat of a predictable plotline to it. This doesn't deserve to be in a broadway theatre.

"This doesn't deserve to be in a broadway theatre."

I think it does. I've seen so much bad theater on broadway, that in comparison, ROA ranks pretty high.

I think this show is going to be even better than the off-BW version. No way is it a bomb, unless you're saying, "It's the bomb!" as a compliment.

I think ROA will attract a lot of tourists, too, because everyone loves and knows the music and it's a fun night. It's also not going to cost an arm and a leg for tix. That, in itself, is going to be a deciding factor on which show people go to see.

I can't wait for a cast recording. I hope they can swing it.

I get to see it in just two weeks!!

I forsee the show selling very well, in this economy folks like things that are safe and familiar, and given the list of artists on the show poster (and the relatively cheaper ticket pricing) this has "Tourist Goldmine!!!!" written all over it.
