Oh and for the record....when all was said and done, I sided on with the musicians and the members of IATSE Local 1 and Actors Equity who decided that they were not going to cross the lines to play to computerized music.

As one friend in the cast of the musical Chicago said when I asked her how they were going to do a show without musicians, she responded with, "We aren't." That was all I needed to sway me over to their side...

It appears that there is a settlement, although we don't know what, and I am assuming that the minimums may be reduced to possibly 20-22 at some of the larger houses but we shall see.
