i dont know much other than most "stars" on bway make a lot less than you think. On financial theatre things, my moneys on whatever hogans hero says.

that said, while i loved david hyde pierce, I dont think anyone is coming to see him as a primary draw and would guess he is making far less than $20K a week (not that it probably matters to him the royalties for Frasier tv series are likely a great retirement stream)
 

i think it is fun to know because salaries help unbundle a part of why tickets are so expensive and the economics of putting on a broadway show....

This reminds me of something financial guru Suze Ormond used to lecture about:

People will talk about their weight, their sex lives, their marriage, their affairs, their health, their family secrets, everything and anything - except money. They are very careful not to share how much they make, or how much debt they owe - but will gladly share all other very personal and private information with others. So very true!
