I mean Scott Rudin is gone, but obviously his over=pending continues. MUSIC MAN's adjusted gross for its first 49 weeks (Gross minus cc charges and the .045 etc) has averaged $2.6 million. The budget capitalization for MUSIC MAN was approx $24 million as far as I know. If the show cost $2 million a week to run including royalties (which would be close to criminal producing) , it would still have earned $29 million in profits over the first 49 weeks. Would love to understand how this show hasn't recouped!

As you undoubtedly know, one is not required to announce that they have recouped. Considering who is at the helm, it is not at all surprising to me that they have not announced. Unless you know something that you haven't said, it's entirely possible that they have many millions sitting in the bank or dispersed, or it is possible that they are doing some kind of grand Hollywood style manipulation.
