I see the gross figures etc in Variety weekly, but I have a question about profit

Posted by MDH (aka MDH) Sep 14 '09, 09:29

Shows like Avenue Q make hundreds of millions of dollars, and that excludes the touring profductions etc. How much money is actually profit. I know the rent at the theater must be insane, but in that article they mentione they recouped the 3.5 mill cost, and I'm like, "Obviously."

Also since you may know what are the average broadway salaries, and what about the bigger musicals and singers?

Thanks Znu!
