Bands Visit Playbill

My guess is last minute casting? Maybe someone originally played multiple instruments and they changed it? Or two people playing the same instrument?

I saw the first preview and I only counted 7 band members (acting and non-acting).

I'm pretty sure that in the curtain call, there are 4 actors taking bows, while the other 4 band members sit behind them, and then the actors leave the stage and the musicians play 'one more number."

And there are two clarinets in the group -- by the end of the show they've proven that one can REALLY play -- the other acts, and plays a little.....

What is striking about the Playbill is that these are clearly photogs of the people on stage -- the cellist is very distinctive, in that he isn't tall, and has an amazing head of white hair -- he's clearly on the cover, as are others.

So it's confusing.

The picture on the show’s website has been changed to a blue motif, with Tewfiq and 7 band members. I’m assuming that the Playbills are still using the original artwork, which shows only 7 total, including Tewfiq.
