I for one would be very sad to hear electronic or canned music at a broadway show. That is one of the few places where I would hope real musicians could last. Classiness deserves classiness. If you don't mind listening to canned music, you shouldn't mind watching canned actors; just watch TV! Who needs live anything?

"My opinion is that if a theatre can attract an audience with a virtual orchestra and survive.........then so be it."

I agree!...and they can get rid of the stagehands and set designers...Use a virtual set!...and while that at it...get rid of those dang actors!!!

hmmmm....virtual orchestra...virtual sets...virtual actors...I always liked cartoons...give me Pepe Le Pue anyday!
