Hi Rachel,
I played two productions of Cinderella this year and both used the rental scoring which has seven reed books: Flute, Flute2/Pic, Oboe/EH, Clarinet, Clarinet2, Bass Clarinet, Bassoon.
One of those productions used four people covering the parts, the other used three people.
The Broadway revival had different scoring, including a book that was Eb, Bb and bass clarinet. I have not run into that, but perhaps that is what you will be playing.
In the standard rental scoring the clarinet books are pretty straight forward, the only more difficult part being an 8 bar section in Waltz for a Ball (also repeated in the Bows if I remember correctly) that required a little practice to get up to the very fast tempo it was played at.
The bass clarinet book did not have much that wasn't being doubled by some other part.
I am curious to hear if anyone else here has run across a different scoring.
The music is a bit repetitive, but it is a fun show to play. Have fun!
John
