It's such an awesome difference
Producers originally wanted to do away with minimums altogether, saying they sometimes require shows to use more players than the shows need
"Cabaret" was the only Broadway musical unaffected because it's covered by a special contract The union says the minimums are essential to keep live music from disappearing on Broadway "
Fifteen of Broadway's 18 musicals, including "Hairspray," "Les Miserables" and "42nd Street," had intended to use either so-called virtual orchestras, computer-generated equipment, or tape as musical accompaniment, according to Bernstein "
"Even though we are concerned about the theatergoing public, the state of our industry and our city, we are a union and a union supports a union picket line
Plays on Broadway â€â€? such as "Take Me Out" and "Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune" â€â€? were being performed as usual, as were all off-Broadway productions That's all this is about," said Marshall Coid, an onstage violinist for the musical "Chicago "Theater is live It's reactive They're just going to get rid of musicians to add to their pockets "
Live music on Broadway is important, Coid said It's an issue of conscience," he said , who was in line at the Times Square booth where discount theater tickets can be purchased, said having a live orchestra was like "the difference between watching a baseball game and playing one It's just a totally different dynamic
The main sticking point in negotiations with Local 802 of the American Federation of Musicians has been the question of minimums â€â€? how many musicians are required for each show, a figure related to the size of each theater
Stagehand union President Edward McConway said his rank and file were honoring the picket line "for the good of the industry and our membership
Pat Keifert, a tourist from St The minimums at those large theaters currently range from 24 to 26
Earlier Friday, theater producers promised to keep their musicals running despite the musicians' walkout
Shortly before the shutdown, the actors and stagehands expressed their solidarity with the musicians "
But James Nicholas of Grand Rapids, Mich It's in the moment "Performances for the weekend are canceled
Theater producers "are not going to reduce ticket prices
"They, unfortunately for theatergoers, have turned off the lights on Broadway," said Jed Bernstein, head of the League of American Theatres and Producers "
No more negotiations were scheduled for Friday and it was uncertain when they would resume , said he was partial to producers
"We never had any intention of replacing live music with virtual orchestras and neither will we after this situation is resolved," Bernstein said
Broadway musicians last went on strike in September 1975, shutting down nine musicals for 25 days Broadway Musicals Shut Down Due to Strike
Mar 7, 7:06 PM EST
Virtually every musical on Broadway shut down Friday as musicians went on strike, and actors and stagehands said they wouldn't cross their picket lines It changes, it's never the same "The producers know what's economically doable and they make their adjustments," he said Refunds or exchanges for all musicals are available at the point of purchase
"Our members have made it clear: We do not want to perform to virtual orchestras," said Patrick Quinn, Actors' Equity president
Outside the Broadway Theatre, which houses "La Boheme," musicians picketed Friday
In negotiations last week, the producers proposed the number of musicians required for the large Broadway theaters be reduced to seven, a figure they later raised to 14 Paul, Minn
