Can anyone direct me to a 7 Brides for 7 Brothers accompaniment CD?

Not to be a sour puss, but I'm pretty sure the theatrical licensing companies include in their contract that you MUST use or at least pay for the live orchestrations as part of your agreement in doing the show.

Karaoke CDS also make cuts and alterations to the material which probably violate the rules of the contract between the high school and Music Theatre International.

Now, MTI does have a feature called "rehearsa-a-score" available for SEVEN BRIDES - it contains all the music as played in the score, but I don't know if you can use this in lieu of an actual orchestra during performance - you'd have to contact them directly, but that is probably your best bet.

About 4 or 5 years ago i directed a production of 7 Brides for 7 Brothers at the high school where I teach Drama. At that time, MTI had the orchestration on CD that you coud rent. You might want to see if they still have it. I think at the time, it cost about $ 500.00 to rent. If you want more information PM me. I have some other ideas as well.
