Was the synth player not from New York? Usually in touring shows the rhythm section comes from NYC. If she wasn't from New York there's a good reason to feel justified on the fact that she was bad....

You know, I'm kind of grateful I didn't play the woodwind parts in Legally Blonde because they rarely even play! If you want to know what's going on, I recently played Keyboard 2 for my school's...

Well, it's finished and it did turn out pretty well. The audience liked it. I thought I did pretty well. Anyway, the reason we didn't use any of the brass or woodwinds is because our band director...

And a news flash, the director (not the band director) has censored the show and it now barely resembles Legally Blonde. It's pathetic and the show is just stupid and boring. Anything risqué or adult...

Well, as of 3/25/13, the pit orchestra will be joining the cast of Legally Blonde. And to say the least, pit orchestra really hasn't been fun for me. Maybe it's because I'm really bad at keyboards...

The pits I would love to play for would have to You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, Hairspray, and Wicked. I love the music to all of these. I would preferably play woodwinds for these three

I feel that I shouldn't be complaining because I'm just a pit musician, but those two are really good songs and I believe they're important to the plot. I was just really surprised to see it. And...

All I can say is that I hope that the director can find some way to make up for the cut songs. If there's nothing to make up for it, I believe there's gonna be some major plot holes in our show.

So I was heading into school today, and I see that "Bend and Snap"'and "Gay or European" have both been cut from my Legally Blonde at my school! Well there goes two major plot points in the musical!...

There are 115 patches for Keyboard 2. There are various sounds including "full brass", "pipe organ", various Rhodes registrations, lots of electric piano patches, string patches, tons of synth and...

It is official. I'm in the pit orchestra for Legally Blonde and I will be playing Keyboard 2. Really excited to be taking on a new challenge that will further my repertoire as a musician

Update: the books just came in. Now we wait and hopefully I'm in...

What do you mean it's the MD who really runs the show? I understand the artistic director teaching the blocking and the musical director teaching the music to both cast and musicians, but why do you...

From what I saw on Music Theatre International's Legally Blonde page I saw there were 2 reeds as follows:Reed 1: Piccolo, flute, oboe (optional), English horn (optional), clarinet, alto saxReed 2:...

The pit orchestra conductor will be my band teacher. She says she's like the peon and at the bottom of the list with the vocal director and the drama director, so she'll always be the last one to...

Hey guys. This year my high school's spring musical is going to be Legally Blonde, and I will be in the pit orchestra. However, my band director keeps telling us that the orchestra consists of just...

1) Learn the flute and piccolo
2) get into the pit orchestra for 2 summer musicals
3) Happily graduate from high school and get ready for college!

The sax section in the Jitterbug was awesome! That's the part where I could rock out on the Bari sax!

What are your favorite songs you've played in the pit for a certain musical. Right now my favorite song I've played in a pit so far would be The Jitterbug from The Wizard of Oz. It may have been the...

There are a lot of great songs in Avenue Q. There's a lot of good songs in musicals! You Can't Stop the Beat (Hairspray), Happiness (You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown), Purpose (Avenue Q), Make Them...

I'd also like to try Legally Blonde in the pit. My high school is doing this show for our spring musical, but I'll be on stage for that. I'd do Legally Blonde any other time though (in the pit of...

Thinking about it, I wouldn't mind playing some Sondheim, preferably Into the Woods and West Side Story. If I could play Andrew Lloyd Webber, my preference would be his earlier works and not his...

Hey guys! This here is a pit orchestra-related question: what musicals would you absolutely want to play in the pit for, even if the musical hasn't been made available for licensing yet? Here are my...

I always like seeing people's pit setups here. This summer I played for my community theatre production of the Wizard of Oz (clarinet/bass clarinet/baritone sax). Now thinking about it I should've...

Hello everyone. I'm snakeman5001. I recently joined this website because I was fascinated by the people that posted about their professional gigs they got hired for (especially gigs in the pit...
