As BroadwayWorld previously reported, the producers of Hamilton recently struck a profit-sharing deal with members of the original cast, ensuring that those who've been with the production since its initial labs will receive a portion of upcoming royalties. Today, the Dramatists Guild of America has released a statement on the matter.

People all over the world are going live this spring. That's thanks to Facebook Live- which allows users to interact with viewers in real time. That means celebrities can answer our burning questions, hear what's on our minds and give us access into their everyday lives.  Happily for us, Broadway is catching up on the trend.

Once again last year, hundreds of thousands of theatregoers and fans weighed in, breaking site traffic records and further solidifying the BroadwayWorld.com Awards place as the largest and most popular online Broadway polling event of its kind, open to all and with fully visible and audited results.
