The full score is published IIRC by Universal. Again IIRC, that's the original scoring, more or less. (The guitar book calls for a lot of doubles. Banjo and dobro are understandable. But cello and accordion?)
I saw a professional production which had a larger orchestra (perhaps the "revised" version that Brent mentions) -- 15 or so players on a platform above the stage, with 10 or so players on another platform some distance away. Somehow they managed to stay together. It was however the original playlist, with Mack The Knife as the opening song and not reprised later.
Weil's writing is a lot closer to guys like Stravinsky and Milhaud than to guys like Rodgers and Kern. The music might well grow on you. How many performances will there be?
