The show can be played by as few as 11 musicians (with some doubling) and has been arranged to provide a full and authentic period sound without the cost of a larger orchestra. MIDI files are also available for purchase to make rehearsal easier. They will work with Garage Band, Logic Pro, or any other software or hardware-based MIDI work-station. Additional music or choral books are available for an additional charge.
The arrangements are tailored towards intermediate players in the Level IV-V range. They were created by Vince Corozine, whose work includes arrangements for the Annual Thanksgiving Parade in Philadelphia, ABC-Disney, The USMA Band West Point Jazz Knights, the theme for Peter Jennings “World News Tonight” (ABC News), Action Park, Sesame Place, The Garden State Arts Center, and Resorts International in Atlantic City, NJ.
The Script Package consists of:
12 full scripts:
- 1 for each of the 7 principal characters (7)
- 1 each for the director, musical director and choreographer (3)
- 2 for the technical crew (2)
12 scene excerpts for characters with minimal lines or only one scene (12)
(These contain the dialogue for all of the minor characters and may be shared or divided as you see fit.)
Scripts are provided at no additional charge and need not be returned to Stage Write Productions.

Returning Materials Post Production
Once again because the number of principals is so limited, scripts and minor dialogue parts do not need to be returned. They may be discarded or kept as souvenirs by the cast members.
As for the score and music books, all music materials should be packed securely in their original boxes within ten days after the final performance and returned to
Stage Write Productions

provided, of course, that the boxes have not been damaged in transit. Since this material, upon its return, will be shipped to subsequent clients, care is to be taken to mark music books only in pencil and to erase any such markings before their return. Failure to erase any markings or permanent damage to the music materials will result in additional charges. The cost of return shipping is the responsibility of the borrower.
