Hello,
I have been asked to play lead on a production of Follies. I have listened to the cast album and watched the 2011 revival on Youtube. It seems as though there is quite a bit of down time with the woodwinds and strings doing their thing.
I would appreciate it if anyone could fill me in on range, endurance and if there is flugelhorn.
Thank you,

Not a show I've done, but the licensing website indicates 3 trumpets plus one on stage and no mention of flugel or other doubling.
There are also 3 trombones (and one on stage) and a horn plus 5 woodwinds plus strings so it's not a small orchestra.
After a little poking around I'm seeing that there is another Follies if you count Will Rogers Follies. That show I'm seeing some posts on but I'm finding no posts in a quick search of the Sondheim show. _________________ "I'm an engineer, which means I think I know a whole bunch of stuff I really don't."
