Hello all,
I was reading an article about how it was rare for a Stephen Sondheim show to recoup, and I was just wondering how many productions of his shows (originals and revivals) actually made back their money on Broadway?

It depends on whether you mean in the course of their Broadway run, or over a greater span of time. West Side Story, Gypsy, and A Funny Thng were hits on Broadway. Company managed to eke out a small profit during its Broadway engagement A Little Night Music made money.

The recent revivals of NIGHT MUSIC and SWEENEY TODD each recouped with a modest profit.
