I don't know how the theatre is being set up for this show, but in most productions, I don't think the audience is all that aware of the monitors, unless of course they're specifically looking for them lol. I think it's much like other visible tech elements. There wouldn't be huge visible Broadway lighting plots in a karaoke bar either, but I assume those lights will be there. But as in most shows, I doubt the majority of the audience will think about that, specifically once the show is in progress. How often do you go to a show and get that distracted by the lighting instruments? Usually we get involved with the actors and the show itself and we don't think about them.
If people demand their money back or grumble because there were conductor monitors (or other obvious theatrical tech elements) in what's supposed to be a "real" karaoke bar, I tend to think we've started to lose the point of THEATER as an art form. |
