I always thought it should be "What ever the market will bear"

If the people that own the theater and the producers want to put on a crappy show, I don't see why the union has a right to stop them.

I do agree that replacing the musicians with electronics is something to fight against but if the show is scored for piano bass and drums and they can fill the theater that is their deal. People can not buy a ticket if the show is crappy. I really don't understand the idea that they have to hire musicians based on the size of the theater. What if there is a show that only needs 4 musicians? Should the rest of the orchestra just sit there or gat paid not to show up?

Why don't musician get mad at movies?

I hope you guys don't get too mad at me for my thoughts.
