| The average adjusted Gross for the first 9 weeks is $480,000. I would imagine that with a cast of 18, a 5 piece orchestra, and a crew that includes two follow spot operators, that at the least their weekly costs are around $500,000. So they have been skirting with break even weeks so far, without returning any investment to date. |

| I had heard "high 4's" for the nut. Regardless, there is no happiness for the investors in this, even if they were to manage a bit of shaving off that (not likely without cutting back on marketing which would be suicidal), or to maintain the current grosses through the winter. I say stick a fork in it. | |

| Right. And just to emphasize a sometimes misunderstood point, if a show does no better than “break even” during its run, investors will lose 100% of their investment. | |
