Special Orchestration for Tony Performance

When I posted the FALSETTOS Tony clip the other day I realized that the orchestrations used are totally different from any other version of the score. There's a lot of brasswork going on and even some strings (I think). The show as licensed and done originally is only scored for synth percussion and woodwinds and even though the off-broadway versions had some brass it was not used that much.

I assume that this orchestration was put together for the much larger Tony Awards orchestra, so I was wondering if there have been any other instances of this happening, and if anyone knows who might have put the orchestration together.

The 2007 revival of Company used what I believe were the original orchestrations for Being Alive so they'd not have to pay the actors who were also the musicians.

I bet you Michael Starobin did do the expansion.

He also expanded his beautiful charts for SUNDAY IN THE PARK at the Chatelet several years ago. I wonder what a fully orchestrated FALSETTOS would sound like.
