| I agree with 95% of what you wrote, up to the last sentence. As I discussed in another post or 2, the score cannot be played as effectively because the result would be raw music whereas the whole idea of karaoke is that the person is singing to the recorded, fully produced tracks. I do not think using live music is ever going to happen except at the very end of the show. Not to over-dwell but there is a reasonable number that would have been agreed to in the NORMAL course of things. It is obvious that the show has not been budgeted with 16-19 musicians and I think imposing that would shut the show down before it starts. Of course, if the production moves forward without an agreement, it will also be shut down by a picket line. |
