I was wondering if there was any way to get full orchestral parts to a single broadway song without ordering the entire score. I have the opportunity to sing with an entire symphony orchestra, but the only problem seems to be that my voice isn't operatic at ALL, so that pretty much rules out any songs (my voice is very well at musical theater songs).

The orchestra will have order the charts directly from the sources.
Rodgers and Hammerstein have a concert library (holding Irving Berlin, Andrew Lloyd Webber, R&H, etc...) go to www.rnh.com to browse. click on the concert library section.
Selections held by the big Theatre licensing houses (Tams Witmark, Sam French, MTI) all can license out individual songs.

this is likely something the orchestra will have to do (and pay the rental). I'm not sure if an individual can order this stuff. It is expensive to order individual charts.

good luck!
