I think it is funny that the termination of the musicians would be so controversial. There are only five of them and according to the article there were plenty of successful productions that ran without live musicians. I have not seen the show, but if the esthetic of seeing the performers play music throughout the play is not a part of the design of the production, then its importance may need evaluation. Basically I am asking, what is the big deal? Is it so controversial or is that just in the header to attract readers? Cause it worked on me.
