| Most are organizations like the shuberts. Sondheim (not a producer) is worth $20m. Shockingly low considering how many landmark shows he has done and I don’t seem him as extravagant spender pissing away his money over the years. ALW is worth $1.2 billion. I can’t think of any broadway producers with even close to that capital. I did a search “ALW gives millions to actors” and the only thing that came up was $500k to actors fund made by broadcasting his taped shows. So there aren’t any articles of how he has helped out the theater folks by donating millions of his money that would be a very small percentage of his billion dollars. It’s all about opening theaters to make more money and the actors/crew will benefit with jobs at their own risk of health. If he really cared he would still be paying his casts (even a reduced amount) during shutdown to help the people survive that made him a billionaire | |
