 How You Can Help Broadway

"Thank you for supporting live music on Broadway! Broadway’s orchestras have received countless expressions of support, over 17,000 audience members have signed our petition so far. It’s been inspiring to all of us who work in musical theatre. But unless you act now, live musical theatre may soon be dead!

Theatre owners and producers are insisting on the unlimited right to replace Broadway’s orchestras with machines and synthesized pre-recorded sounds. They have actually brought these machines into most theaters and are threatening to use them if we don’t agree to their demands.

As composers, orchestrators, music directors and performing musicians - we speak with one voice in asking you to help us save live musical theater. Replacing our orchestras with machines would destroy the very essence of the live performance we work so hard to create each night. And you the audience member, will be cheated out of the quality product you paid for and expect to receive.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

We urge you to call the League of American Theatres and Producers at (212) 764-1122 and tell them to keep the music of Broadway LIVE. Tell them you won’t be back to Broadway if they kill the music. Also, please write a letter to your local newspaper about the importance of ensuring live music on Broadway (sample letters are available in the "In the Media" section of www.savelivebroadway.com).

This message is brought to you by Local 802 of the American Federation of Musicians and by Broadway’s composers, arrangers, orchestrators, music directors, conductors, music copyists and performing musicians. "
