Although he has stumbled recently, Nathan Lane's track record for profitability on Broadway is excellent. His commercial productions after The Producers were The Odd Couple, Butley, November, The Addams Family, It's Only a Play, The Front Page, the Angels in America revival and Gary, and I think The Addams Family and the last two were the only ones not to recoup.
I agree with KingSpeed that he is the biggest "Broadway superstar" (someone who is primarily a draw because of their stage work) of the last 30 years. |
