It's been years, but I think Reed 3 is the "lead" clarinet book, so I suspect you'll mostly be working out of that. If anyone plays bassoon, there's some important bassoon stuff (for example "Wells Fargo Wagon") that should be covered (Reed 5). My recollection is that we had 4 reeds: Reed 1 (also covering stuff from Reed 4), Reed 2, Reed 3, and Reed 5 (also covering stuff from Reed 4).
You could try getting a CD of the show and see which voice seems more important. Since you'll be working with reduced orchestration, you probably won't know for certain which to cover until you're rehearsing with the "full" pit.
