Stage Directions Podcast Ep #9 - "The Economics of Broadway"
The Economics of Broadway - With the Corona virus raging, and the entire community shut down, and taking a tremendous economic hit, we thought it would be a good time to break down exactly how the economics of Broadway work - from genesis of a show to closing night on Broadway, and how they affect everyone involved in theater from the writers, to actors, to theater owners to the producers themselves.
Hosted by Ashley Griffin (called "The Hermione Granger of the theater world,") STAGE DIRECTIONS offers a deeper look at the things no one discusses contemporary theater. Exploring everything from the dichotomy between critical and audience reception, whether fairy tales are important to modern day storytelling, and whether "high" and "low" musical theater can ever find common ground, Ashley will examine ideas you "didn't know you didn't know."
