When is Jeremy Jordan coming back to Broadway?

And he keeps raking in that tv money

He makes per episode on TV what would take him a few months of 8 performances a week on Broadway. I'm sure if TV wants him that's his top priority.

As Bebe Neuwirth said about her TV work on FRASIER: in one night more people saw her on TV than 10 years worth of stage work AND the money is insane.

Many Broadway actors have gorgeous homes now due to their TV work. Heck, even Jane Krakowski said until ALLY McBEAL happened to her she never thought she'd own an apartment in NYC based on her Broadway salary. Her TV work changed all that.

And just because he is not back on Broadway doesn't mean he is not performing elsewhere. His Tony last year in West Side Story at the Hollywood Bowl was exquisite.

Very true but the show "Supergirl" is awful and it is not even on a major network.

Actually, the CW is considered a top 5 network. It isn't as large as ABC, CBS, or NBC, but it isn't nothing. And while some shows certainly are more valuable to be on, TV work still pays more than theater. Doesn't matter how bad a show is either.

You're either overestimating how much he gets paid for Supergirl, underestimating how much he would get paid on Broadway, or both.

And how much is he making on tv?

BrodyFosse123 said: "The starting minimum as a regular on a TV series is $20,000 per episode. It's safe to assume he makes more per episode due to his somewhat name recognition plus residual income once series goes into syndication.

There are a lot of reasons why a guy like Jeremy Jordan might opt for television at this point in his career. Yeah, the money is probably better, but the exposure is the greater long term benefit. Supergirl is shown all over the world. Before Jordan was on TV, few people outside of New York really knew much about him. These DC Comics shows enjoy a cult like following, and Jordan is the beneficiary of that. On top of that, continued work for Disney, and having The Last Five Years and the Newsies movie on Netflix will ensure that his exposure goes beyond the DC Universe. Yeah, three years in Vancouver and away from Broadway might be a sacrifice on a personal level, but the greater exposure appears to be more than worth it. He's also in a show where the writers could invent some intergalactic excuse for his temporary or permanent departure from the show if the right Broadway project came up. And he would come back to Broadway as a bigger draw than he was when he left. He's in a pretty good position.

We also have to wonder how long each episode takes. If one episode takes 2 weeks to make, and he makes $20k for it, and 10k for one week of Broadway, it's the same.

GreasedLightning said: "It does not take two weeks to film one episode of televison.

Would Jordan really make 10K a week on Broadway? That seems high. "

Correct. It typically averages out to be an episode a week.

If, for the sake of argument, Newsies was still running and Jordan returned to the production, I would expect him to bring home about 10k/week.

This thread became entirely about money. Let's go back to the question. When is he coming back to Broadway?

LOL !
