Seriously, though, I had to answer this question numerous  times  
during that run: if the orchestra can't be seen and the music  is  
piped in through speakers, what's the difference if it is a tape?  One  
big difference is the energy of the cast on stage. Performing to  the  
same tape night after night is much different than performing  with  
live musicians. Even if the audience can't tell the difference,  the  
cast can. They are very aware of the subtle changes in the  orchestra  
from show to show. This helps to keep their performance  fresh. 


I heartily agree and would compare it to Home cooking to cafeteria food or  
"jazzed" up food as compared to plain, bland fare!! I KNOW the kind I  prefer!! 
To be honest, I prefer to be in the pit then in the audience  too!!
