Broadway’s Non-Profit Cheat Code
by Ben Waterhouse - Aug 27, 2026

Shows cost more than ever before to make it to Broadway, and are closing faster and faster, even after winning major Tony Awards. None of this is new information, the last few years have been a huge struggle for commercial theatre, particularly commercial musicals. As one anonymous Broadway co-producer put it, “every [Broadway] show costs $100k a week too much to operate, and ticket prices need to increase 30% to be where we were five years ago.” That’s quite the gap to bridge

The History of Musicals Starting Off-OFF-Broadway
by Jennifer Ashley Tepper - Jan 25, 2026

But much more rare is the circumstance of a show starting out off-off-Broadway (that’s right, two ‘off’s!) and traveling all the way to the main stem. One of these shows is playing right now, and is a major theatre success story with off-off-Broadway roots!
