Facts about medieval theatre?

A trope was a verbal embellishment, a decoration which was sung during a mass, beginning with Easter Mass but soon stretched out to other church celebrations

Medieval theatre was first performed in churches, then it moved to outside when there wasn't enough space for people to come, and the plays people wanted performed weren't quite moral enough for the church.

They were first performed by churches, priests and clergymen taking centre stage, in Latin.

They were performed as an easy, entertaining way to inform people about Biblical stories, including the first plays, Mystery, being about the Mystery of Christ, telling stories like Adam and Eve, or Abraham and Isaac.

Who is the highest paid actor or actress on Broadway?

Idina Menzel set the record for highest paid Broadway peformer in 2005, for her work in the London cast revival of The Pajama Game, receiving 300k weekly. Idina in turn peformed there for only 3 months, and was replaced by Megan Hilty (who received only a small percent of what Idina was paid), so Idina could participate in Wicked, alongside Kristen Chenoweth. Nowadays I suppose the highest paid could be Barbra Streisand, if she was at her peak, and had the same opportunities as young Broadway starlets nowadays.
