Producers and Brokers sitting in a tree. Doing B-U-S-I-N-E-S-S.

The Producer's Perspective: Back in 2009 (gulp!), I wrote this blog about how Broadway’s year end gross box office figures were wrong. The reported numbers were just under a billion dollars.
But, I argued, the actual take was well beyond that, if you added in the premium that ticket brokers were charging. Of course, we don’t know what that actual amount is, but my point was that Broadway is an even bigger business than our yearly box office indicates.
