The production says it is seeking a 'special situation' grant from a panel or an arbitration decision, which would allow it to move forward without the required 19 musicians for the theater.
The disco-pop musical is based on a concept album by Byrne and Fatboy Slim and follows the story of Imelda Marcos, the former first lady of the Philippines.
The musical, directed by Alex Timbers and produced by Hal Luftig, is scheduled to begin previews at the Broadway Theatre on June 17. The theater has been completely remodeled to accommodate a dance floor and other immersive levels for audience members.
