I may be asked to play this in a few months...anyone have any insights. I checked the orchestration...lots of double reeds?

If dimming memory serves, there are 4 reed books. One of them is oboe, EH, and clarinet, split about evenly. One is bassoon only. The others are flute doubling clarinet.

Hopefully the books have been redone since I played them, as they were manuscript & quite hard to read.

The biggest challenge with this show is its non-deterministic ending. It's a murder mystery with 7 suspects; the audience votes on which one they believe is the guilty party. Each of the 7 characters has a different "Confession" song. You won't know until a few minutes before which one you'll need to play.

The new books for Woodwinds are 3 . The bassoon is now part of book 3. I just heard that our parts just came in.
