PROGRAMMING NOTES

This licensed version is based on the Original 1994 Broadway Production.

This version is orchestrated to most definitely be stick conducted from the podium. There are 4 keyboard books in this show to complement the huge orchestra of live musicians.

Keyboard 1 is the primary piano book but it also contains lots of orchestral padding to the live players. Some of the patches include strings, electric piano, clavinet, celeste, bass clarinet, english horn, harp, bells, trombones, saxes, and percussion to name a few. Although not as difficult as other Keyboard 1 musical theater books, this chair will need a very strong rhythmic player who can navigate the playing and the programming changes.

Keyboard 2 adds additional depth to the live orchestration. It shares many of the same sounds as Keyboard 1 and includes among others, harp, violins. trombones, flutes, piano, saxes, low reeds, percussion, vibes, and voice pad. This book can likely be managed by an advanced level high school player as it is not as technically difficult as Keyboard 1 or other Keyboard 2 musical theater parts.

Keyboard 3 is just more orchestral padding. The patches in this book include strings, brass, mallet percussion, woodwinds, low reeds, celeste, and electric piano and many more. This is the easiest book of all the keyboard parts and could be played by an advanced high school player.

Keyboard 4 is listed as an optional book and is essentially all strings although it does occasionally have percussion elements as well. If you have a smaller sized string section or no string section at all, this book would be necessary to obtain the intended sound of this show. Because it is a string reduction, it would be best to have an advanced player who can navigate all of the different string articulations in the part as well as the programming.
