The OHenry Report show

Summary: <p>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 &amp; 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. </p><br><p>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 &amp; Garrison LLP, to fill in the blanks as to why a show that appeared to be making money, actually wasn't. </p><br><p><em>Music by: </em><a href="http://bensound.com/" target="_blank">bensound.com</a></p><br><hr><p style="color:grey;font-size:0.75em;"> See <a style="color:grey;" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://acast.com/privacy">acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
