Having watched a number of broadway musicals, I'm curious to know whether the performers are aided in amplifying their voices, especially when singing. It looks like they sing in a way that's not possible for their own voice to be loud enough to fill a 500+ theatre. However I've not seen a blatant use of microphones on stage, and performers move around the stage a lot so fixed microphones would have problems capturing voices. Furthermore, the audience doesn't generally detect voices played out from speakers. The voices seem to emanate from the stage and fill the theatre evenly.
Any of you have been involved in a musical and could answer?

I have lived in an apartment with my boyfriend for about 7 months. I am 21, and he knew i have Always wanted a dog. Now we CAN afford a dog. It would cost about $700 initially. This is for adoption fee, pet deposit, food, ect. My boyfriend just doesn't want to spend that kind of money (we have a joint bank account). He doesn't understand that this is unfair to me, because i have not made any of the financial decisions. He has already bought a $700 tv, $500 surround sound, $300 xbox 360, and a $1500 lap top. He felt that they were Necessary, and we bought them when we first moved out. I supported him, i know he loves movies and video games. Now he is Not supporting my choice. He says the difference is that all of his stuff was bought on credit, and most of the things for a dog need to be paid in cash. But we have the cash, i feel like he is just being selfish. I just don't know what to do! My limit on waiting for a dog is Up. I need a dog. How do i get him to understand this?

Hi
My 5 year old daughter is in Kindergarten, she has a really hard time holding a pencil correctly. I bought the shaped erasers for her to use, they are shaped so you have to hold your fingers in the correct way. I have shown her and she still can't do it, she doesn't hold it like a baby would but with two fingers over the top of the pencil instead of one and doesn't use any finger to rest the pencil on. So her handwriting is very faint and is all over the place with no definition to the letters, her teacher has told me that this will be a problem when she goes up to 1st grade.
I have 2 other children who did not have this problem so I have no idea what to do.

I am not the type to fix myself up, I hate slacks although I have no choice at work...I Hate wearing make-up, especially during allergie season. My hair is really curly and I can't go to the salon faithfully every week because I go to school. Can I get quick tips that won't take forever and help me save time as well.

Can an LCD TV or a plasma TV purchased in the USA be used in Australia? I am moving soon and I want to know if it is compatible. Apparently normal TV's cannot be used there. Asia and Australia use a different format.

this same bump comes back very so often, hurts for a little bit, then goes away, but not before the pain gets nearly unbearable. He's so stubborn and hasn't yet seen a doctor but I'm making him go now. Does anyone have an idea so we know what to expect?

I am a guy and a senior in high school and I recently met a girl through a friend. This girl seem to like me a lot. However, I am not sure if I like her as she is very playful and I want someone who is serious. Even though she is not exactly the person I would like to date, we seem to get along. I thought that I should give it a try and see if it works out. On the other hand, I thought that I should just tell her how I feel so she backs away. Should I give it a try?
