| I guess it has changed in terms of how much it costs to transpose the entire orchestration of a role with the software now available, plus the fact that most orchestras of today are usually use a lot less instruments than when these shows were done originally. Some producers are notoriously cheap. I heard the story of a replacement call for a show being between two actors, one they were leaning towards, but they said "bring out the costume", and the other actor fit it without the production having to pay alterations. Key changes are/were kind of like that and on a grander scale. So why are companies' casting notices of today many times saying specifically what the ranges of the roles are in terms of top and bottom notes, if the role can be transposed? |
