As someone who is trying to put together a production of a major musical with my local theater group, I can tell you that the expense of musicians is sometimes prohibitive. My Music Director alone gets anywhere from $1500 to $1800. The musicians get $65 per event. With three rehearsals and three performances that comes to $390 times 5 musicians. For a total of $1,950. At that expense, pre-recorded music is always in the back of one's mind. So far, I have managed to not use it, but it is always tempting.
