THE COST OF “RESTORATION”

The Shubert company, Broadway’s biggest and richest landlord, has announced it will add a $1.25 “facilities charge” to the cost of every ticket for shows opening after January 1. The company says it needs the money for preservation and maintenance of its theatres. The company stands to make as much as $1,900 for each performance or $60,000 per month per theatre. – New York Post
