I got my contract for 42nd Street at Stratford back in December. Reed 5 - clarinet/bass clarinet/baritone sax. Pretty straight ahead.
Usually, I get one live contract, and do a few pre-records for straight plays.
Yesterday, I found out I have a second live contract. I'm doing Pirates of Penzance.
Pirates is being completely re-orchestrated, so the traditional ww books are not being used.
There will be four woodwind players on the show. One is a flute/whistles/pipes specialist, one is a clarinetist, one is a doubler with excellent oboe chops. Then there's my book - bassoon/clarinet/flute/whistles...and guitar!
That's two years in a row with woodwind and guitar doubles on a show.
