There's actually quite a contraversy brewing here in New York regarding musicians who perform for Stage Shows. Some of the Broadway productions are actually using MIDI backing tracks to replace the musicians.

The musicians union in turn is planning a strike and most of the Broadway plays are planning on replacing the live music with either MIDI or Recorded tracks. It will be interesting to see how this plays out, but I for one cannot imagine going to a Broadway show knowing there are recorded tracks playing (if I could tell the difference, that is!).

hmmmmmm.
