| When you speak of the integrity of the Broadway musical, shouldn't you also be speaking of artistic integrity? As those who have seen other iterations of this show can attest, there are very valid artistic reasons for using prerecorded tracks for this particular show. The entire conceit of the show is predicated on it, and the sound and style of the tracks (which are essential to the conceit of the show) cannot be reproduced with live music. | |

| Of course the sound can be reproduced by live musicians. It's not electronic music. It was recorded by real musicians playing real instruments. And, as I've said before, all you have to do is step into Six, Hamilton, And Juliet, or any number of other shows to see that virtually any style of music can be played live. The "artistic integrity" argument from the producers is a dodge. | |

| There's the rub: You manifestly do not understand the first thing about record producing and yet you pretend you do. (And you are not alone.) The "sound" of a recording cannot be reproduced by live musicians because it is impossible to proceed live in the manner that a record is recorded, edited, and produced in a studio. And when you say otherwise, it's clear you just don't understand. It's like saying that you saw Rigoletto last night and the string parts were played by kazoos but it "of course" was the opera. It is also like saying that you saw the film of West Side Story and it was just the same as seeing it on stage. It has NOTHING to do with the genre of music; it is about the way the sound is delivered to the audience's ears. As I have said before, this topic is a tangent to the issue that prompted this increasingly weird thread, but the bottom line is that if someone discerns what karaoke is, having it played by live musicians in a theatre is a fraud. |
