It’s surprising it barely return on investment. But the star (hugh and bette) are probably making 10% or more and I assume Sutton makes less but probably a percentage. So the combined percent is enough to significantly impact recouping. The show itself probably costs $800k to maybe a million a week. So $3m is more than enough to pay the bills and pay back investors.

Come on.
Even with my salaries for the stars the nut cannot be even $2 million which means I should be making $1 million a week at least.

If it's costing Phantom $950k a week to run this year, it's certainly costing TMM at least that.

According to broadway journal article. I assume that is from investment sheets. That would include Josh groban’s base salary but not his percentage. I assume it will be a fairly large production in sets and actors.

Back to the future is going to be $1m like Spider-Man.

It’s hard to find weekly costs for shows especially long running ones. Spider-Man was one of the highest at $1m reported but that was nearly a decade ago when it closed. But at $3m a week, there are other fees like percentages working against recoupment.

That's what Mackintosh told the NYT.
