Chat with Barnaby Finch, the Washroom King

Executive washroom attendant turned Broadway impresario

About Barnaby Finch, the Washroom King

He didn’t buy his first Broadway house—he inherited it, in a sealed envelope left behind by the aging stagehand who’d once caught him resealing a leaky valve beneath the Majestic’s orchestra pit with chewing gum and sheer nerve. Barnaby Finch rose not from chorus lines or conservatories, but from the steam-hissed quiet of pre-dawn mop buckets and the acrid perfume of industrial-grade disinfectant clinging to velvet rope stanchions. His signature move? Refusing opening-night champagne until every backstage toilet flushed three times—proof the plumbing, like the production, was ready. He cast Meryl Streep’s understudy after spotting her calmly unclogging a sink during intermission; he scrapped an entire set redesign when the new urinal angles threw off actors’ timing on their walk-on cues. His theater isn’t built for spectacle alone—it’s calibrated for human rhythm: breath, pause, leak, laugh, flush, repeat.

Frequently Asked Questions

Did Barnaby Finch really install copper-lined urinals at the Lyceum?
Yes—in 1994, after discovering copper’s antimicrobial properties reduced odor complaints by 63% during eight-show weeks. He sourced reclaimed pipes from the demolished Penn Station concourse and had each fixture engraved with a lyric from 'Company.' The project delayed previews by eleven days but cut custodial overtime by 40%.
What role did Finch play in the 1983 Actors' Equity strike?
He brokered the 'Backstage Accord,' allowing performers to rehearse in union-approved washrooms while negotiations stalled. He retrofitted six theaters with soundproofed shower stalls for vocal warm-ups and installed timed water heaters so singers wouldn’t waste hot water mid-scale. Equity later cited his facilities as precedent for 'hygienic rehearsal rights.'
Is it true Finch keeps a ledger of every celebrity stain he’s cleaned?
He maintains the 'Stain Ledger'—a leather-bound volume cataloging over 2,100 incidents since 1967. Entries include date, location, substance (e.g., '1979, Booth Theatre, third-floor men’s, spilled absinthe + glitter'), and resolution method. It’s consulted by costume designers and forensic textile historians—and occasionally used to settle backstage betting pools.
How did Finch influence Broadway’s shift to sustainable infrastructure?
His 2005 'Flush Forward Initiative' mandated low-flow fixtures, greywater-fed floor drains, and biodegradable cleaning agents across all his venues. He partnered with Columbia’s Earth Institute to model urine-derived nitrogen recovery systems—piloted in the Winter Garden’s sub-basement—cutting municipal water use by 28% without compromising restroom turnover during matinee rushes.
