The show is orchestrated to be player conducted from the Piano/Conductor score although Broadway Licensing does offer a Keyboard only book that is the same as the PC without the lyrics in the event there is a stick conductor for the 9 piece band. This is the only keyboard book in the show and it has programming that really adds to the sound of these familiar songs.
