      <![CDATA[One who is unable to distinguish between a live or pre-recorded orchestra(or even bother to find out before publishing a review) is not qualified to comment on the quality of their sound.  This was an extremely complicated score, and the timing and quality of the band was anything but dry, and the balance was impeccable.

      <![CDATA[The orchestra is not recorded.<br>
<br>
A live orchestra, with Rick Lewis as musical director and Reece Marshburn conducting, complements the production beautifully.  The orchestra is behind the set, and that, along with brilliant sound design by Casi Pacilio, makes the music easy to hear without overpowering the singers.  Every instrument's contribution is clearly appreciated in the score, and works in partnership with singers better than on any musical I've heard in town before.

      <![CDATA[Great review, Alison. I can see the main difference in our opinion stems from the first act, which seemed more robust to me than you describe (despite the excessive amount of plot-redundant showtunin', I admit).
