Seating capacity is around 250. The orchestra for City of Angels was under a dozen players.

I did a college production with around 10 or 11 players, and I feel we really were squeaking by. The show is on our short list for future musicals at the same college, and this time with a more musically aware and conscientious general manager I'm more liable to get the full orchestra. I wouldn't really want to do it otherwise, to be honest.

Honestly, that just seems criminal. Do you happen to remember how many brass and saxophones you had? - GMB

I had 3 reeds, 2 trumpets, 2 trombones. And piano, bass, drums, with me conducting and playing the synth book. (With parts rescored as much as possible to prevent "holes" in the sound).

Missing from my band - 1 reed, 1 trumpet, percussion, guitar, strings

Missing from the rental package (i.e the original Broadway scoring not available for rental) - 1 more reed, 1 more trombone, horn, one more percussion part.
