| So we hear often about the "weekly nut". Is the nut contingent on how many performances a week the show plays. In other words, if the show's nut is $700K, I assume that's based on an 8 performance week (assuming, of course, that's the norm). So if the show plays 6 performances in a week. will the nut be something less that $700K? I'd assume that there'd be less costs, e.g. the cost of musicians in a musical, the cost of the house staff, etc. I truly don't know but I'm interested. | |

| Most salaries and rental fees are based on an eight-performance week, and very few of them would be reduced for less than eight in a week. Royalty guarantees, however, are often reduced based on the number of performances. Advertising and basic theatre rent would also be unchanged. In all, there is very little saving for having fewer performances. | |

| One minor nitpick and a couple of minor embellishments. The royalty minimums only come into play if the show is not exceeding them by formula; otherwise the percentage royalty is unchanged. The variable expenses are indeed very minimal. A couple of examples would be someone working through a service-providing agency like a security company, or the utility bill. | |
