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?
