The problem is so many of these creative types are too focused on reviews and putting on a good show. Once it's funded, investor returns are a mere after thought.

When you run the numbers as an investor, it looks attractive even acknowledging the relatively high risk. But what you don't take into account is that they often have enormous blocks of heavily discounted or complimentary tickets, some of it contractual with the theatre, just to keep the theatre full each night. These are sold by affiliates and via promotions, and heavily erodes the projected sales figures. I'll never invest in theatre again,, I know that much.
Theatre appears to be one of those "glamour" investments, and I'd hazard a guess that only 1% of investors would ever earn money on it. I've known people who invested in garbage companies and sewage companies who've made a mint. Simili, almost 100% of restaurants fail, but many people who own a greasy-spoon make money... Interesting how the world works...
Let's face it, the whole theater industry is a load of Bollocks. They want investment so these average singers/actors can parade around the stage with their mates having a great time. At somebody else's expense.

Can’t believe that she doesn’t know how much a theatre would charge her to host her show! Sure that’s the equivalent of someone who open a shop and having to pay rent every month. That would be your number one expenditure to take on consideration!
These Dragons are so short sighted. I've just invested in the stage production of Dance of The Goblins and the playwright assures me that she has a natural ability to organise and keep costs down.
The split with the Dragons is 75/25, that leaves 25% for the Dragons. Then the Dragons get 80% of the profits on their 25%. 0.25 x 0.80 = 0.2 or 20% So the Dragons invest 25% of the money but only get 20% of the profits? For the Dragon's to recoup their money, the show would have to sell £1,250,000 worth of tickets (£250,000/0.2) @ £22.80 ea. £1,250,000/ £22.80 = 54824 tickets, which is approx 55 shows fully sold out in a 1000 person theatre.
@Eddie Turbine There are no dividends, the Dragon's arent buying shares, they are buying a quarter of the show, I would expect to get a quarter of the profit (my maths is wrong its 20% not 14% but still). Why should the other owners get a greater proportion of the profit? Edit: why should 25% of the ownership get 20% of the profits, while 75% of the ownership get 80%?

Aha, Nikolas Grace - stage/screen actor and brilliant in 'Robin of Sherwood' as the Sheriff of Nottingham! AND Josephine Buchan, granddaughter of 'The 39 Steps' writer John Buchan.
That director at the end was aweful, he ruined it for them by saying “why not invest for fun” and “all I care about is that I get paid” why was he there 🤣
This Dragon's Den episode is from 2009. It seems eventually, 2018, the Dusty Springfield musical got off the ground but was short lived. It did a season in London, another season in Australia, and that appears to be it. So they must have got enough funding but surely from angels. Nobody walked out of this with a profit.
Me too, Sad but true. I would always say to people: never go on TV, and by that I mean, don't even respond to someone wanting to interview you on camera in the street. In Northern Ireland, where I grew up in the troubles, there were loads of vox pop interviewers around in the hotspots - (I wasn't always wearing my balaclava when they'd jump in.)
Did anyone recognise Josephine Buchan, the blonde woman with the pitch? She was a well known television presenter in the eighties. She did Pebble Mill for the BBC and Wish You Were Here, or something similar. Nice to see her again.
She was indeed! You certainly aren’t the oldest one here but it helps that I do also know her 😂 My friend is really good friends with her. I feel for her in this clip, maths has never been my strong point either 😅
Poor pitch begs big questions: who owns the rights to those songs - Dusty's heirs, the writers, a record company - and will they allow the musical to use them? Was the female singer going to be the star of the show, or just a taster of the music? Any big names in the cast? The dragons were right to say 'no' and that director wasn't risking his own money. He can afford to do it for fun.
8:50 Nickolas Grace is a prolific supporting/minor role actor, probably best known as Sheriff of Nottingham in 'Robin of Sherwood' 1986. Also 'Brideshead Revisited' 1981 and Birds of a Feather' 1989. Spotted him yesterday in 'These Foolish Things' 2006. ... But as an advocate for a new business enterprise seeking investment he is worse than useless here. Everything he says is a reason not to invest. Can't see why Josephine brought him. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickolas_Grace
You cannot expect the Dragons to invest in something like this, it’s an insanely high risk thing. Theatre impressarios are totally different from these dragons. Of course they’re not going to back or even understand the pitch.
Even episodes from 2009 are still entertaining to watch, especially watching the silly make believe world of theatre collide with the cold real world of finance
Did some research and since the show all Josephine Buchan has done since dragons den in 2009 is work in the PR department for canon films she was in a 1985 move White knights.
Yes. He was in Midsomer Murders. He is most famous for playing the Sheriff of Nottingham in an 80's tv series called Robin of Sherwood. It was an excellent series and well worth a watch, even today.
so if the dragons buy 25% for 250k a la company are interested in putting in 500k for i guess 50% and she said i need to sell the other 25% for the remainder 250k budget how does the owner josephine make money as she will be left 0% of the business or does she just put herself on the pay roll for a wage ?
What planet are these people on,coming on dragons den pitching to serious investors looking to make returns by investing in genuine companies with some sort of longevity or exit strategy . Do they honestly think they stand a chance of investment or is it just an advertising pitch? She should be looking to people in the industry not business investors. As Deborah said their idea of a big success was paying the costs and everyone loving the show that is not how investors of the dragons calibre operate
David Mellish Success in commercial theatre isn’t about paying costs and having a good time, it’s about cold hard cash (the subsidised sector is the part of the industry that focuses more on a quality but not necessarily profitable product) and there are private investors out there who do invest in commercial theatre, but it’s a high risk venture due to the scale of the running costs. And this is a touring production where relative costs are even higher. This producer simply isn’t credible though, she hasn’t booked the tour so she has no idea whether any venues will even programme the show, nor does she know enough about the income arrangements at each venue to build a realistic, sensible budget - she knew how much money she *needed* to make but not how much she realistically *could* make. Plus she was entirely unable to explain something as simple as the difference between a box office split, a guarantee, and a split with guarantee. Just another one of the many naive chancers that plague the industry. Some of them are slick enough to raise they money but they inevitably end up going bankrupt and owing money to lots of actors, technicians, and backers.
I expected a Dusty tribute artist who could at least look like her, that would be some enticement. To see the real Dusty singing live one of her best, but least mentioned songs, check out ALL I SEE IS YOU 3:42. Emotional stuff.
You mean the theatre would only tell her the price after she books it? That's not how contracts work. She could have found the prices for all of the theatres but didn't bother with even one.
Anyone else feel like this woman was really saying or really would have rather have liked to be saying, "think of the costumes, the music, the Dances!! " And just totally carried away in her mind with some fantasy only she understood.... but never stopped to think "how will it all get paid for" and basically felt like the money aspect was just some kind of unnecessary annoyance?? I think alot of creative types can be like that. But especially musical people... and personally I have always hated musicals and never liked dancing of any kind. I feel like why do people feel a compulsion to ruin potentially good dramatics or comedy by forcing music and dance into a production?
Not saying this singer playing Dusty doesn't have a good voice, she does. But apart from that, there's nothing unique to her voice. She has a good technique, which shows in the strenght she can sing with. But the voice in itself doesn't move me one bit. I just now listened the original Dusty Springfield. Their voices are not really that similar.

Not saying this singer playing Dusty doesn't have a good voice, she does. But apart from that, there's nothing unique to her voice. She has a good technique, which shows in the strenght she can sing with. But the voice in itself doesn't move me one bit.
I just now listened the original Dusty Springfield. Their voices are not really that similar.
I've listened to 90% of 10% of her song.
Are they selling CDs
I can't find this on tv and I've got like 200 channels.
Lesson……if you bring an advocate do t let them speak on subjects they know nothing about!
