About Broadway Investing
A Broadway investor is someone who financially backs a Broadway production. In exchange for their investment, they get a share of the profits if the show is successful, along with some other perks. Here’s a breakdown of what being a Broadway investor entails:
Financing the Show
Sharing the Risk and Reward
Perks for Investors
This space is going to tell you everything you need to know about investing in Broadway shows and what it means to be a Broadway investor.
My name is Ken Davenport, a Tony Award-winning Producer and it is my mission to provide education to producers and investors. When I was getting started on Broadway, there weren’t many books on the business. No podcasts, no blogs, no Google(!) even. And during my 30 years in the industry (20 years as a producer), I’ve learned that many people still think Broadway investing is only for the yacht–owning, Rolls–Royce driving, mega rich. And those same people don’t know who to talk to about investing.
Thankfully, I have been blessed to be surrounded by some of Broadway’s best and brightest who taught me the mechanics of the business as well as the nuances of our industry that can’t be put on a spreadsheet or a word document. And as part of my mission, I want to share this information with you so that you don’t make the same mistakes I made or get misinformation online!
So welcome to Broadway Investing 101. Feel free to look around the articles to see which shows have announced recoupment, or the blog posts for a more in depth look at Broadway investing, resources that are pulled from my library – including my book “Broadway Investing 101” or even the FAQ for a quick reference!
