We are doing the Irving Berlin arrangement, and thanks to Bret Pimentel's list I know the reed 3 book is optional oboe/eh, with tenor sax and clarinet. I would like to play, but my sax/clarinet chops are not the best; in fact I currently don't own a tenor (although I have access to a great one).
Has anyone played this arrangement who remembers if this book is exposed, and if there are especially difficult technical passages? I have never seen the show, but have it on order from Netflix. Don't know if that is the Irving Berlin version though...

The stage show is not the same orchestration as the film. I played reed 4 twice, including the world premiere at the MUNY in St. Louis, and I don't remember it as being difficult at all. I do seem to recall that reed 3 is mostly clarinet and tenor with some oboe and english horns solos
