perhaps, although I don't know if pit orchestras require amplification or not. I've done pit orchestras in amateur theater, and those never used amplification. Obviously broadway is a bit bigger. I don't recall the pit being micd up at any big shows I have seen, but they may have been.

a live orchestra just sounds different than something over a sound system. Its not just a matter of knowing its live.

Probably something to do with dozens of analog sources of sound generated right there vs digital sound coming out of relatively few speakers.
