New York's Broadway theatre scene has long been viewed as the "top of
the heap" in the world theatre community. Taking lessons from the very
best, this innovative guide delves into the business side of the
renowned industry to explain just how its system functions. For anyone
interested in pursuing a career on Broadway, or who wants to grow a
theatre in any other part of the world, The Business of Broadway
offers an in-depth analysis of the infrastructure at the core of
successful theatre. Manager/producer Mitch Weiss and actor/writer Perri
Gaffney take readers behind the scenes to reveal what the audience--and
even the players and many producers--don't know about how Broadway
works, describing more than 200 jobs that become available for every
show. A variety of performers, producers, managers, and others involved
with the Broadway network share valuable personal experience in
interviews discussing what made a show a hit or a miss, and how some of
the rules, regulations, and practices that are in place today were
pioneered.
