This is a show performed like in an arena where much of the audience stands among moveable stages which are frequently being arranged into different formations throughout the floor. If monitors are required to be within the actors' sightlines, they would most likely also have to be moveable. It's not like you're sitting in a proscenium theatre and you'd have to look behind you to see the monitors. The standing audience members are frequently 360 degrees surrounding these moveable stages.

This was one of the questions I had. How would you deal with the conductor.

You would have to have stage hands moving monitors around or an array of screens throughout the space.

I don't know if you've seen the show yet, but there are already stage hands moving the stages around and projections are already a major part of the storytelling. There's no spoken word book or recitative, so the projected headlines and photos serve as the book, moving the story along.

All that expense for moving stages and what not. But no pay for musicians.

Surely, if the venue requires paying a certain number of musicians I agree they should be paid. That's on the producers. I just wouldn't want to see the authors have to rewrite their show and eliminate a major theme because of an oversight.

Thank you.

All that, and no pay for the musicians. Hmm.
