[TPIN] Favorite B'way Show?

[Gregory Curry]

All,

We opened my daughter's high school production of Thoroughly Modern 
Mille last night. The kids did really well and the audience enjoyed 
themselves. And I enjoyed the challenge of putting it out there with 
only 1 and a half rehearsals. I blew a few accidentals in those 
sections in B and F#. Nice for the singers and strings, maybe, but not 
happy keys for me on limited rehearsal time.

So this got me wondering.....

Which Broadway show is your favorite from the trumpet player's point of 
view? I imagine there are some composers who write and arrange really 
well for brass, and some shows that may not be fun to play because the 
parts are poorly written or fiendishly difficult to the point of 
detracting from the show itself.

And to all the pro show players on the list I say 'Bravo!' for being 
able to handle the demands of the gig.
