To present Equity or non-Equity in Dallas, that is the question

Dallas Morning News: Patrons who had never seen Disney’s Beauty and the Beast before seemed happy with the show at the Winspear Opera House at the AT&T Performing Arts Center.
If you’d seen the original national tour, however, you might have wondered: Why do the performers list shows in their program credits without saying where they performed them? Where are the “No Matter What” and “Maison des Lunes” songs? Where is the battle scene between the villagers and the enchanted objects? Why are we seeing painted pictures of books rather than the Beast’s library? Why are there only 10 musicians?
A simple answer reflects a growing reality in the country.
