An absolutely STACKED musical theatre cast!!!! Like I was like WHERE do you get the BUDGET for all these extremely impressive gets???

Bezos, man.

But also most Broadway performers are very firmly middle class (if that) while on contract, and while off contract struggle to make ends meet, so I imagine a lot of the more purely Broadway folks were cheaper than you’d think.

#broadway #finances #I know Broadway salaries seem really great #but Broadway actors have to live a commutable distance to nyc #pay their union dues #pay their agent and manager #pay to keep up their training #put away to get them to their next contract #and also eat/live/etc in nyc #it’s expensive as fuck to be a Broadway performer #and the wages do not match comparable performers at the top of their field #or come even close #like honestly the biggest get was probably Stephanie Beatriz #bc of b99 and Encanto #Jeremy Jordan is huge in the Bway community but outside of that people know him bc of supergirl if they know him at all #and that’s what I imagine to be the case for most of the cast #They may be very popular in the Broadway community #But they’re not getting paid the big bucks for a mainstream target audience
