Something I haven’t done in awhile.
For those of you new to the blog, one of the first things I did on Broadway that got some national (and even international) attention was my crowd-funded Godspell.
One of the reasons I chose that massive legal and logistical undertaking was because, well, Stephen Schwartz told me that Godspell was about a community of people coming together . . . so I wanted to bring together the largest community of Broadway Investors ever (I’m a big fan of marrying your marketing message with your artistic message).
And the other reason I did it was because I had this theory. See, I believed there were thousands and thousands of people out there who were interested in investing in Broadway shows, but . . .
1) They didn’t know who to talk to about it.
and . . .
2) They didn’t know how it worked!
The response to the Godspell offering was overwhelming, to say the least, and it proved my theory correct. Investing in Broadway shows has, in the past, been for a very select group of folks, and often we kept more people out than we invited in. And even when new folks got into the ‘club’ they often didn’t know what was happening after they wrote the check!
Since then, Broadway has gone through one of the biggest booms in its history and interest in Broadway Investing has skyrocketed. Because when any industry posts numbers in the billions as we have, people come from all over hoping to find “the next Hamilton.”
And whenever you rush into anything, you can often make mistakes.
That’s what led me to develop a workshop on Broadway Investing several years ago, and eventually publish this book, Broadway Investing 101, a best seller on Amazon.com and the only book on Broadway Investing on the market.
But books are no substitute for the live, in-person, experience, right? (We all love the theater, don’t we?)
That’s why, we’re reviving the Broadway Investing Workshop! And we’ve got TWO dates coming up . . .

If you are interested in learning more about Broadway Investing, whether you’re thinking about investing yourself or if you’re just curious about how shows like Hamilton are funded, click here to join us for either date.
The seminar is $99 and we’re keeping the group small to make sure I can answer all your questions.Oh, and everyone who comes will get a free copy of my book.
