The producers of the Broadway revival of David Mamet's Speed-The-Plow have announced that the production has recouped its investment. The play is currently running at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre through February 22.

The production, directed by Neil Pepe, made headlines after original star Jeremy Piven abruptly left the show on the advice of his doctor. His role of Bobby Gould was covered by understudy Jordan Lage and Tony winner Norbert Leo Butz prior to William H. Macy taking over the part on January 13. The cast also features Raúl Esparza and Elisabeth Moss.
