PROGRAMMING NOTES
This orchestration is based on the Original 2021 Broadway Production.
This show is orchestrated to be piano conducted from the Keyboard 1 book. There are 3 keyboard books for this show all of which are heavily programmed. Keyboard 3 is an optional book that was created by KeyboardTEK in conjunction with Broadway Licensing whereby we took the original Ableton Playback file and converted all of those sounds, instruments, samples, and loops into a playable MainStage file. This book is still in the process of being completed so if you will be using this optional book, please contact us immediately so we can make sure to know when your production is. Broadway Licensing provides the original playback file if you would prefer it that way.
As mentioned, Key 1 is the conductor book and is also the primary piano book as well. There are over 110 patches in this show all of which are very specific to the sound. In addition to piano there are many different electric pianos with various effects as well as synth elements such as leads, pads, and basses along with orchestral brass, harp, and celeste among others.
Key 2 is very synth heavy with dozens of very specific pads, leads, synths, basses and other elements that the sound of this show requires. As with K1, there are also many instances of orchestral brass, strings, harp, and celeste and even some Mellotron.
