Origin[]
The Lyceum Theatre of New York City is one of the three oldest surviving Broadway venues (along with the Hudson and New Amsterdam Theaters), and is the oldest continuously operating legitimate theatre in New York City, and the first Broadway theatre ever to be granted landmark status (1974). It is one of the few theatres in New York which continues to operate under its original name.
Effects[]
When one signals to the pit in some manner with the desire for music to be played (saying "Hit it", "Play", or other such phrases are the typical ways to do so), the pit will create phantasmal musicians and instruments that will play for the activator. Whether it be pre-existing songs or original, improvised compositions, the music will always sound perfectly executed. If the activator does not have a song in mind, or only has a part of an original melody they want to be played, the orchestra will take it from there and play as they go along, often prompting activators and those around them to either sing, or watch and enjoy the show. However, while the orchestra is capable of using any instrument known, it is incapable of producing actual vocals.
