Spotlight Series: Sean Nyberg on Producing Broadway and the West End
What does a Broadway producer actually do? On this Spotlight Series episode of "Half Hour," we sit down with producer Sean Nyberg to find out, covering his shift from law into financing shows, the three-part test he uses before committing to a project, and why even a promising show can't guarantee a hit. We also get into the weekly costs of running a show on Broadway versus the West End, and where Sean thinks family entertainment and star-led theatre are heading next.
