This thread has gotten very long, so I apologize if I missed this part of the discussion elsewhere. If I understand correctly, there are certain musician minimums in Broadway houses. If a show doesn't need that many musicians, they'd still be required to hire that many unless there was some sort of special agreement to allow less. The expectation would be that HERE LIES LOVE will need to pay (some) musicians weekly whether or not they plan to use them as live music in the show. That would certainly be a very expensive prospect if HLL did not take that into account, but it simply boggles my mind that no one thought there would have to be some costs for musicians for this show!!! Are insiders somehow aware that the show is trying not to employ any musicians at all? Are the negotiations about trying to minimize the amount of musicians that are paid each week (since they aren't actually playing)?
{Generally excited about HLL, but this aspect has me scratching my head} |
