Glad to hear it! I did wonder how the middling sales would do for the low running cost. I imagine Gyllenhaal's paycheck could have been the largest expense aside from theatre rent, but I also wouldn't be surprised if he accepted a lower paycheck to help the show succeed. It seems like something he would do.
With Gyllenhaal being one of the Lead Producers and considering the short length of the run, I would imagine he (and Sturridge) took a low salary but a high % of box office (with a bigger bump post-recoupment). Not unlike Bryan Cranston's reported deal for Network.
