This is exactly my point. I am not arguing that producers should be able to put musicals on Broadway with reduced orchestras and/or tracking simply as a means of reducing overhead costs. I would be appalled at a production of SWEENEY TODD that was performed to backing tracks. I even hate when smaller productions use prerecorded music as an obvious cost-cutting measure (SPACE DOGS at MCC literally sounded like karaoke -- it was abysmal).
I am fiercely advocating for the author's intentions to become fully realized on our biggest stages in America. The authors specifically created a narrative and theatrical universe that doesn't involve any live musicians.
I'm the bad guy for supporting artist intent?
(Also, I love the ad hominem attacks -- I'm fiercely pro-labor and a member of both AEA and SDC.) |
