| Looks to me like all the money is going into the immersive set and the massive transformation of the Broadway Theatre. | |

| I just want to note, before this thread sunsets, how far afield it has gotten. However we might individually resolve the artistic/economic issues, the fact remains that none of this overcomes the FACT that the contract requires a minimum orchestra size and that requirement does not have an exception for artistic choice (either in spending the money on something else or not using live music). The only way to avoid breaching the contract is to petition for a concession. There is a committee provided for to make decisions based on artistic considerations. We can have fun arguing about what is or should be required, but that is not the pertinent question unless and until we learn that the production has asked for a reduction. Otherwise, as I said a long time ago, the CBA is the applicable minimum. There is no provision for unilateral action by a producer. | |

| No argument here -- the HLL producers should absolutely have known this was going to be an issue, so it would be odd if their running costs didn't account for mandatory minimums at all. | |

| North Shore Music Theatre created a big controversy when, in the early 90's, they opted for a virtual orchestra for Carousel so they could spend much more money on a huge onstage carousel. | |
