It is not a live accompaniment, but relies on playing accompaniment recordings. The actors are equivalent to karaoke. Most French dramas (French dramas are not the same as French dramas) are like this. Most domestic original musicals adopt this method due to cost and band standards.

Live accompaniment, this is divided into three situations:

The band is in the orchestra pit: in most traditional frame theaters, between the front of the stage and the first row of the audience There will be a sunken space in the room, which is the orchestra pit. In theaters with such conditions, most performances with live accompaniment, such as musicals, dance dramas, operas, etc., will arrange the entire orchestra in the orchestra pit for accompaniment. Most Broadway musicals such as "Phantom of the Opera", "Les Misérables", "Miss Saigon", "Wicked", etc. use this method. In many theaters built in modern times, the orchestra pit has a lifting function, so that when the orchestra pit is not needed, it can be level with the stage or auditorium ground, increasing the performance space or auditorium space.
