ORCHESTRATION
In it's present version the score is orchestrated for 15 musicians (see below). For those with bigger budgets or for concert versions of the show the parts of Keyboards I and II could be replaced, where applicable with the orchestral instruments such as a piano, harp, glockenspiel, bassoon and marimba. For vocal ranges, please see the Characters section in the Background section!
