On this episode of BroadwayWorld's theatre business podcast, "The OHenry Report," Broadway producer and investor Oliver Henry Roth goes inside the numbers of "Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812" to see what might have led the show's producers to take such drastic casting measures, as discussed and explained in Episode 2.
In this episode, Oliver uses the show's publicly available financial data and educated estimates to try to figure out why a show that routinely grossed over one million dollars per week only returned 15% of its investment. Oliver also talks to Daniel Kuney a Broadway and Off-Broadway general manager currently working on PUFFS at New World Stages, and Carrie Casselman, a theater attorney at Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, to fill in the blanks as to why a show that appeared to be making money, actually wasn't.
