Richard,

I just played the show a few months ago.  I was the only trumpet (it was a
small orchestra), but there were at least two parts.  The music itself is
not hard, but the cuts, jumps and deletions are crazy.  Bring a good, sharp
pencil to rehearsal and some paperclips to help the multi-page turns.  Good
luck -- it's a fun show to play, once you get the changes down.

Can anyone tell me if this score has one, two, or three trumpet parts, and
if it is available in more than one version?  I may be playing it next May
and would like to get some lead info about possible orchestrations that are
out there.

For example, I have been told that Disney's "Beauty and The Beast"
has, in addition to its regular orchestration (which has two or three parts)
, a reduction which is far less satisfying, in that its one and only trumpet
part has become something of a musical-patch-and-paste job.

Any insights and info would be much appreciated.
