The "brou-ha-ha" has nothing to do with the quality of the show. It doesn't matter if the show is good, bad, or indifferent. Musicians need to be hired, compensated, and credited for their work past and present with this piece - and/or at very least, the producers need to acknowledge the issue in a mature and responsible way. It could be the worst show ever written - no matter - that still has to happen. I'd love to ask why you feel you can be so flip about it, but I won't.

It's telling that even posters like "Hair" above, who support the use of the tracks, still admit that the producers have stepped in it big time here.

And as much as I would like to support this show, especially for its casting, etc - I just can't at this point.

I think this should have been flagged and resolved WAY before now. As in Off Broadway?

The producer(s) have been and continue to be really really dumb and this show will be taught at Columbia some day. But there was nothing to resolve off-Broadway. Likewise, there would be nothing to resolve if they had rented the Beaumont, or the American Airlines, or probably most logically Studio 54. But now they have a lot of investors who put money in for all the right reasons who are going to get scalded and they have created a gigantic mess from which they will never extricate themselves. And this has not been 802's finest hour either.

I agree. I'm not sure that explains your flip-ness, but I do agree with you.
