Saw the show on Broadway, and thought it got a bad deal. I enjoyed it, most of it anyway. I loved the bits of music for Sam and Molly, but hated the material written for the "other ghosts." "With You" is a gorgeous song in the right performer's hands. I did think the Sam/Molly in the tour weren't at all right for their roles, and union status has nothing to do with that. Talent not judged by a card. I can tell you that several colleagues of mine work on the tour, and they use union musicians, to answer your question. I'm sure they use a few patches in some keyboards, but it is a live (union) band. Any issues you might have had with sound would probably be due to the sound design for the show (which does emphasize loudness), and the fact that the Pantages as a venue is a VERY hard venue to adjust sound designs for. Often it takes up to a week for the touring sound op to get it just right.
