No Saxes in Reed 2? Lots of these shows that originated in the West End have Soprano Sax substituted for Oboe/English Horn. I guess that added the 4th reed to meet the minimums for the Lunt Fontaine. The Durey Lane had a 17 piece orchestra including conductor, with 3 reed books. While 18 is required on Broadway. These is my favorite orchestrations of any Broadway show, very well orchestrated by Doug Besterman for a medium-large sized orchestra.
