It was only capitalized at $5 million and couldn't even recoup that. The proposed transfer of DISASTER! is capitalized at $9 million. If it couldn't sustain a run at St. Luke's, lord knows why they think it would be able to sustain one on Broadway.

Music licensing question

The show uses 70s music throughout. (probably 20+ songs, from what I recall at the Triad)

I'd assume that there was no small effort getting rights to all the songs for the original production (and possibly renegotiated for Broadway). However, thinking of later regional licensing - I'd assume that all the rights would be packaged up with the show and later productions wouldn't be burdened with managing the many royalties involved, right?

Whats the weekly nut projected to be. $9m seems awefully high for waht I thought was a small show.

Did xanadu recoup anything? I think its average weekly for the run was undrr 250k. That was probzbly break even.

Maybe they have good casting lined up for Disaster? (Like big stars-and they sure cost money. But, they can bring in huge dividends if they prove to be a draw.)
