  21. Re:Live performance different from film on Broadway Musicians Replaced With Synthesizers · · Score: 1

    Instead of the conductor waving a little stick to control the orchestra, He would be waving a Wii Controller to control the synthesizers.

  22. Re:What is the issue? on Broadway Musicians Replaced With Synthesizers · · Score: 4, Informative

    Live performances are never the same, that is why the orchestra is there. The song can be faster one night, or the onstage actor may change things up to keep it interesting, the orchestra can make changes on the fly that go along with what is happening onstage. A repeat customer appreciates the differences that they experience. It may be the same show but it is different every performance.

    I am a spotlight operator at our local theater and I can assure you that a Broadway show is different every night. This is what keeps the crew awake during something that could be incredibly repetitive.
