  • 1.  Lucky Stiff Backing Tracks -EMERGENCY!

    Posted 03-26-2017 23:33
    Help!

    We are producing Lucky Stiff and my Music Director just let me know that we don't have a piano player for our musical that opens this Thursday! I was under the impression everything was fine, but now I have an emergency. Does anybody have any backing tracks for the musical Lucky Stiff? I've been able to find backing tracks to most of the songs from the first act, but none from the second. Unfortunately, MTI only has the cast recording and no backing tracks. I'm at a loss for what to do! Does anybody have any resources or advice? Help!

    The MT Pit has it. And they are very easy to work with.

    Try MTPIT they should have them. We used them a few years ago for Joseph and worked well.

    I have used TheMTPit for several years. They are great and have gotten things to me in emergency situations in the past.

    I would recommend Right on Cue Services as well (Right On Cue Services - Home | 2017) - I like their tracks almost as much as MTPit's, for half the cost or less.

    Right On Cue Services (ROCS) rightoncueservices.com has brand new tracks for Lucky Stiff, and many other shows.  Not only are the tracks recorded with live studio musicians, they come with the proprietary StageTracks software that allows you to easily change the key, tempo, make cuts, and run vamps in real time.  The software makes prerecorded tracks much more flexible in the ways you need for live performance.  All while using top live musicians in the studio.  And for much cheaper than other resources.
