Little taste of Broadway financials for you if interested for Anastasia to compare to our recent discussions

Posted by MDH Apr 5 '22, 17:18

Press release today that the musical "Anastasia" has recouped the original investment of $15M.

Show opened in Hartford for a pre-Broadway run in May 2016. Opened on Broadway in spring 2017 and closed in spring 2019. Since then it's toured the US continuously (equity and this past fall non-equity), and had Spain, Germany, Netherlands, and Japan productions.

That's a lot of run to recoup more than 6 years later. But hooray for them.

I’d be interested in how they define ‘recouped’ - mafic Apr 5, 17:32 3
- Diva etc. will know better. There's huge costs to get shows up/running. Add those to weekly costs & there's a lot of money to make up. - MDH Apr 5, 17:47 2
  - Just the rights to a show can run into six figures - and that's just for a 4-week run in a 150 seat theater. -- nm - Meg Apr 5, 17:52 1
    - Great read about licensing if interested. Variety: Life after death on Broadway Even flops make money in amateur, stock productions -- (link) - MDH Apr 5, 17:54
