Pippin Musical Surges From Setbacks to Broadway Profit
Producer Stuart Ostrow faced mortgaging his home and investor hurdles as Pippin struggled in 1972. A National Theater run failed and Kennedy Center guarantees fell due to union disputes, pushing the show toward Boston before Broadway. By end of 1973, the production netted about one million dollars after paying off its 500000 cost with 30 investors.
