Make that three idiots, Alison. Neither myself nor Laura Lee were aware that was a live orchestra. It didn't seem that way at allโeven from the third row.
Hey Alison, we have some egg on our faces over here, too, for the omission of the orchestra from the playbill. We have since added lobby signs and program inserts! They are obviously an important part of the show, and we can't believe that in all of our proofreading we didn't catch the omission. Mea culpa!
