Oops, forgot to take the. 8% fee off the $1m weekly

In reply to: Many shows, it's around 40% above nut goes to fees - dramedy 07:13 pm EDT 09/15/14

So that drops the nut to be just above $400k in very rough calculations and guesses. I would think the show is probably running in the $450k range as guess. But definitely less than your $690k statement.

Yes, my number is very high. I was just doing basic subtraction and division and lumping everything in the "nut" which I realize is overstating.
What do you usually include in "fees" by the way?

It is fun to speculate but, without the actual investor sheets, it's all just talk.

The 8% is a combination of league fee and credit card fees. Sometimes they are broken out and they do vary, but most are around 8

Then the 40% estimate above nut is theater rental and royalties for creative team-authors, composers, set design, costumes, director, choreographer, etc. I can't remember If the manager gets a flat weekly fee or percentage. after the show recoups, that overall percentage goes up 5-10%.

Yeah, those are what I usually throw into the fees category. You never know about the various royalty pools however. There have been occasions when set designers, costumes, and some others do not have a participation clause. In addition the percentage rate varies from show to show so all we can do, if not an investor, is use the benchmark minimums. I think, though I am sure there are exceptions, that stage management is a flat salary and considered part of the nut. I am truly not sure about that anymore.
