Attending a Broadway show is a costly affair for the audience member, but what about the costs of running the show? With rising production costs, theater payments and other fees, putting on a show is less about the “what about” than the “how to pay.”A Broadway show typically costs upwards of $10 million just to start up. Keeping the show running runs around $300,000-$600,000 per week. To maintain a show on Broadway, production companies aim to fill 1,000+ seats a night.
