Jaundiced Term of the Night: "Might as well throw the money onstage and burn it."

"Might as well throw the money onstage and burn it"--During those insane moments during production, when the producers are desperate to save a show, new pieces of scenery will be built by the shop on double time, dance numbers will be deconstructed and redone and the lighting and automation will be adjusted, incurring much overtime in the theater. Sometimes these drastic changes don't amount to much, thus the line, "Might as well throw the money onstage and burn it."
