Does anyone know what they are, if they've seen it in Denver already?

BUMP...

I know someone's seen it. Maybe a person can type up the orchestra as it appears in the playbill (not the musicians, the instruments)

Were those seriously listed in the program? I didn't see a full orchestra list! (I'm looking on the little pullout thing)Aw- I was gonna be so impressed that 3 little keyboards did all that sound!

i hate it when they don't list a full orchestra in the program
because then you think its like a four piece orchestra but its really 20 and you must of went to the pit to count the instuments.

You sure you don't want the names of the players? Your BFFs may be in it.

Yeah! I thought you'd know most of them!

Some of them I think were Denver area musicians.
But just in case, could you post them for me.

Well, fortunately, that's where you're wrong.
There is hope for the full orchestras, because Young Frankenstein has 24 musicians.

I know Andy Grobengieser and Greg Anthony are in the orchestra, and I know them (sorta), do you know anyone else in it?

The insert in the program is misleading, as it only lists the five New York musicians who are in Denver with the show. For some reason, it doesn't list the fourteen other Denver locals.

New York musicians:
Michael Kosarin (conductor)
Greg Anthony (keyboards and associate conductor)
Aron Accurso (keyboards)
Andy Grobengieser (keyboards)
John Redsecker (drums)

plus Denver musicians:
Rob Taylor (violin)
Phyllis Carlson (violin)
Jeff Watson (cello)
Evan Orman (cello)
Jim Vaughn (bass)
Danielle Chollet (trombone)
Michael Dunn (trombone/tuba)
Terry Sawchuk (trumpet)
Dawn Kramer (trumpet)
Matthew Scheffelman (horn)
Art Bouton (reeds)
Kathryn Dupuy Cooper (reeds)
Gary Buss (reeds)
Mark Foster (percussion)

Argh- that's so frustrating! With the whole pit covered and all, I really thought that there wasn't a full orchestra.
