People wonder why shows cost so much to produce.
It is not like it is stand up comedy where all you need is a performer, microphone & hopefully a follow spot.
Space rentals for rehearsals & performances are costly , especially in NYC.
Rights for the show (if doing a licensed production) , insurance ,etc, it all adds up.
Here is a quick breakdown of the PROPS / FURNITURE needed for
