In this YouTube short, Dr. Wayne Pernell explains how producer credit on a Broadway playbill is determined by the amount of money each producer raises for the show's budget. He outlines that the larger a producer’s fundraising contribution—typically ranging from half a million to several million dollars—the higher their placement on the playbill, moving them into the "above‑the‑title" category. Conversely, producers who raise smaller amounts are listed "below the title" or "below the title with a slash," reflecting a lower tier of credit. The segment emphasizes that credit hierarchy is directly tied to the percentage of the total budget each producer secures.
