I've seen a few pit conductors use the generic "go back" signal by
pointing their index finger in the air and waving it in a circle... When
they want us to continue they'll either give a "two" sign, representing
the second ending, or look up at the ensemble and mouth "go on"...
Something like that. I find that most effective..

Subject: [kl] to repeat or not repeat

A question for those of you that play a lot of musicals: Has anyone
seen a conductor use or used as a conductor any effective signals to
indicate whether to take a repeat again or go on? (I had one conductor
who I believe was trying to do an impersonation of a vamp to indicate
that we were to vamp in the musical sense; I am sorry to say she failed
miserably in this.) Last year in _Play On!_ we were in disagreement as
to whether to repeat a section or go on to the next -- which happened to
be the same tune modulated up a half step. This is a situation to be
avoided.
