"Why don't you love me?
...You used to love me.
Was it just pretend?"
I loved Here Lies Love at the Public. Like, a lot. I also had no idea the music was all pre-recorded. I could have sworn I saw musicians up in the rafters. I guess not.
Like others have said, the conflict can hardly have come as a surprise to the producers here. Surely there would have been ways to make this work- productions like the John Doyle Sweeney Todd and Company figured out how to do a musical without a separate orchestra. If the producers here really failed to anticipate this issue, I can sadly only imagine what other mishaps await this production. |
