#1Looking for article that breaks down Broadway finances

Hello!
Im trying to find an article that was published shortly after a Caroline, or Change closed on Broadway. It detailed what investors put in, where that money went, including operating costs, and what they lost. I cant seem to find that specific article- does anyone else remember it or know of one that does something similar with another show (preferably not a hit?) Thanks in advance!

#4More general Broadway financial background

This is self-serving, but you might want to look at our book, Stage Money, 2nd Edition. The book looks at the financing of professional theater, both commercial and not-for-profit. It is not a textbook and was written as a general background. We began it because what we read in newspapers and on the internet didn't quite make sense to us. After researching the topic, it does make sense. The 2nd edition was in the publication process when the pandemic hit so it doesn't include anything about the effect of that on theater or what the recovery will look like.
