How much do Broadway stars get paid per performance?

Question

i was just wondering how much the actresses that play Glinda and Elphaba in Wicked get paid per performance.

Answer 1

The minimum weekly salary for actors on Broadway last year was $1215.

If your in the ensemble in a hit show - you tend to make more though.

The lead makes about five to ten times the minimum.

If your a name in a hit show, (for instance Nathan Lane or Matthew Broderick in "The Producers") each pull about $50,000 per week.

More typical salaries for B-way stars and names go for about $30,000/weekly range.

"Mid-range actors" pull maybe $5,000 or so weekly.
