Terms for Theatre Musicians 101

Overture, vamp, cut, tacet...There are a lot of terms found in musical theatre that need to be known by pit musicians.  Some, but by no means all of them, cross over into band and orchestra lingo.  Here are 31 terms you should know as defined by a cast of 25 voices.  If there are important terms I forgot, please let me know for a possible future sequel episode down the road.  You can connect with me by commenting on lifeinthepit.podbean.com, visiting davidlanemusic.com/podcast and selecting the comment button.  Please also follow the podcast on Instagram and Twitter at @LifeInThePitPod.
