Hi,
We are in need of some help. We purchased the rights to the show about 3 weeks ago and just learned that the script is on back order. I really don't know how log before we get everything.

We had a question about the key of the score. Does anyone know if it follows the Broadway tracks? We did find a piano score but it is higher than the Broadway version. We're not sure if this is the official one that RH sends.

Also we are attempting live orchestration for the first time. We will have to bring in other students and adults since we only have a few players ready and skilled to perform. Would anyone have information about what and who are needed? We obviously have a very young orchestra. How many players have you used?

Thanks.

This is a wonderful show! Congrats on doing it. I don't remember the original key in the score, but I'm sure the publishing house can help you out with that especially if you have already secured the rights. We did the show quite successfully with just a keyboard. Good Luck!

Just to confirm: You are doing the full length not the G2K version?
