| Well, I work in the business every day, have for some 50 years. I know the off Broadway commercial inventory pretty well (considering only theatres 199 and above - mostly -as nothing else works - and there are precious few 99s any more anyway). I actually re-read all of my posts carefully, and there are no lies in my post above, Mr/Ms Ryhog. If one wanted to a produce a show like the original Godspell at Cherry Lane - non union - and then move up - one can cut the risk drastically. But producing a show commercially off Broadway is VERy hard due to lack of venues and the costs associated. And the Broadway model was indeed broken in the 70's, never to be fixed as far as I can tell. Not bias, just true. The new model is very different, and for the few available theaters one can take a shot if one get an owner to accept your prohect - no easy task these days except for a very few of our most successful producers.
