For you? $1,000 to fuel our provincial economy. In Canadian dollars of course. So you can just give me US$2 and we've call it even.

MaryAhemEthel, the judges have ruled that you are NOT CORRECT!

Because the ANTA Washington Square Theatre Had No Orchestra Pit--so they were FORCED to put the Orchestra on stage--and decided to put 1/2 on each side--to achieve a somewhat "sterophonic effect".


BTW, what are we trying to prove here?

The correct answer is NOT The ANTA.

It was because the Goodspeed Opera House had no orchestra pit that the orchestra was put in the side boxes. This was then repeated when the show opend in The ANTA, and subsequently on Broadway.

As you may recall from earlier in the thread, MOLM originated at The Goodspeed Opera House.

Better luck next time!

Yup, a gay man's duel. I say drop the passive-aggressive pretentiousness though.

By the way, you never actually corrected M_E on the reason this was done, simply the location. Furthermore, this does not mean that M_E was incorrect - sorry, "NOT CORRECT" - because the very reason the ANTA maintained this layout could have been to keep the sterophonic effect.

Better luck next time! Work on your semantics!

I second Tiff. Jumping in here for the sake of one-upsmanship wasn't necessary or nice.

Folks--


While I appreciate the support, may I suggest we just let the matter drop?

As I posted earlier in this Thread, THIS IS JUST A TRIVIAL PURSUIT GAME ON A MESSAGE BOARD.

Peace.

Only if this zen attitude is extended to the PMs as well, M.E.
