Here's an amazing story from the NY Times. Since most of the music, even
=66rom a live orchestra, comes out through speakers, it makes sense to add
an extra row or two of audience seats, reduce the size of the pit and
put the "bulky" instruments someplace else. For The Producers, the
harpist and percussionist are on the 7th floor, playing darts between
their riffs.

Am I the only one who's appalled=3F For those of us who play shows, how
would you feel if the entire orchestra played somewhere else=3F
