Broadway Direct

The Nederlander Organization, led by President James L. Nederlander and Executive Vice President Nick Scandalios, established Broadway Direct in 2011 to help its patrons around the country stay connected to every show on Broadway. With this insider access, they are able to bring you the latest Broadway news, behind-the-scenes stories, backstage videos, and expert tips to help patrons find their next show! From navigating ticketing, to in-theatre experience, to keeping fans connected to Broadway after the curtain comes down, Brodway Direct has with one mission: to make your Broadway experience the best it can be.[26]

Legal actions

In 1993, the Orange County Fair Board purchased the remaining 30 years of Nederlander's 40-year lease on the Pacific Amphitheatre for $12.5 million. The board filed suit against Nederlander in 1995 maintaining that the organization placed restrictive sound covenants in the sale contract that made the venue unusable and therefore eliminated it from competing with the nearby Greek Theatre and Arrowhead Pond.[27]

In January 2014, Nederlander settled a suit with the U.S. Attorney's Office in New York City over violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Under the consent decree, Nederlander agreed to make alterations within three-years to nine of its theatres in New York to make them more accessible and pay a $45,000 penalty. The case was one in a series filed by the U.S. Attorney against a number of public venues in the city.[28]
