The producers of the long-running “Stomp” will have to fork out over $2.2 million to the owners of the Orpheum Theatre for lawyers’ fees after an arbitrator said they fabricated reasons to break their pact and jump to a Times Square theater, an arbitrator has ruled.

The arbitrator, Eli Mattioli, who in December 2015 found that “Stomp” must stay in the Second Avenue theater, ordered the producers to hand over $2,268,009.76, according to court papers filed in a Manhattan court on Friday.

Mattioli had found the claim by the producers that the air-conditioning didn’t work at the 299-seat venue was “spurious from its inception.”

The Orpheum is owned by Liberty Theaters, part of Reading International.

Although the producers of the long-running show, led by Richard Frankel Productions, had made arrangements to move to a larger theater near Times Square, their agreement with the Orpheum called for it to remain for the “run of the show” unless it moved to a 500-seat or larger Broadway theater, where union costs would be prohibitive, or if the theater breached the agreement.

“Stomp is disappointed but the show will go on,” a spokesperson said.
