PROGRAMMING NOTES
The licensed orchestration is based on the 2017 Off Broadway Production at Le Poisson Rouge in NYC.
The show is orchestrated to be player conducted from the Piano Conductor score and only has a single keyboard. The book has a little less than 50 patches but all are essential to the 90’s sound of the show. Most of the sounds are keyboard-ish in nature and include acoustic piano, various 90’s synth elements, B3 Organ, DX7, harpsichord, choir, cello, and orchestral strings in various articulations. This is not a difficult book to play or to navigate the programming but will leave the players and audience humming all the familiar tunes found throughout.
