Not everyone, however, is excited by its arrival in town. The Musicians Union is considering staging a protest outside the black big top on opening night this Thursday, to highlight the production's use of prerecorded music. Only four musicians perform live during the show, backed by a pre-recorded orchestral track. The union's federal secretary, Mr John McAuliffe, said the practice set a worrying precedent, and was misleading. This is a cheap stunt, out to make a quick buck.
