Broadway Production Costs offers an in-depth exploration of the financial underpinnings of American theatre's most iconic stage. It demystifies the complex world of theatrical finance, crucial for investors, producers, and theatre enthusiasts alike. The book highlights the massive expenditures involved in bringing a show to Broadway, from initial capitalization covering creative team fees and set design, to ongoing operating expenses like actor salaries and theatre rental.
One intriguing fact is how marketing costs and recoupment strategies play a vital role in a show's success, in addition to how the economics of Broadway have evolved dramatically from the early 20th century to today's multi-million-dollar productions.

The book takes a comprehensive approach, structured into three main parts, to examine Broadway economics. It begins with fundamental concepts and historical context, then delves into specific production costs and revenue streams, including ticket sales and ancillary income. Case studies of both successful and unsuccessful productions, along with interviews from theatre professionals, offer real-world insights.

By combining rigorous financial analysis with an understanding of the artistic forces driving Broadway, Broadway Production Costs provides a unique and valuable perspective on this high-stakes industry, emphasizing the importance of managing financial risk for its long-term sustainability.
