I have a question about rights and licences for shows.
Companies such as MTI I assume pay a lot of money for the rights to a show, let’s say Shrek.
Do the creatives of Shrek sign over any say in the matter Of what can or can’t be done with a show? So say I get the rights to Shrek and I pay my fee, and then pay 15% on my box office sales, how much do the creatives get?

A year earlier you could have bought them for *only* £159,528,000. find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/06958072It's exactly two months until the next set of accounts is due, when we'll perhaps get a better idea of what impact the pandemic has had on theatre valuations. |

I wonder if Andy could be tempted by an offer of £107m should I win the Euromillions on Friday? |

When will Nimax's new theatre open and more importantly what will it be called?

With Mike Bartlett having three plays currently on in London, I wonder how this comes about? It is timing, scheduling or just a mix of the two and do theatres communicate with each other over it? James Graham was in a similar situation a few years when Ink, Labour of Love and Quiz played in London and Chichester at the same time.

Why would a show that has been constantly on seatfilling, from pretty much the first show, through till the set end of it's run... then extend for another few weeks? Assume solid reviews (3 or 4 stars) and not a full house even with seatfilling. The only things I can think of are something Arts Council or grant related, or possibly nothing else coming into the theatre and *some* bar/programme sales are better than nothing... Been wondering this a while but recently seems to be happening more often so thank you in advance for anyone who can answer  |

It costs money for a theatre to be empty and there are still bills to pay, so it can actually be more profitable to run a show at a loss than close. Plus, there will be some tickets sold (even if seat filling services are used) and there are merchandise and bar sales. There is also the perception of what an empty theatre means. There are also subsidies for theatres, which can be lost if the theatre is closed. |

Apologies if this has been asked before, but how do ticket agents make money? Is it just the booking fees they charge the person buying the ticket, or do they also charge the producer/theatre for their services?
