LTM Productions offers reduced orchestrations for any show based on your particular instrumentation.  We take the time to make sure that all of the color, harmonies, and counter-lines remain while giving you the ability to have fewer musicians in your pit.  In essence, you’re getting more bang for your buck from the musicians you’ve hired while maintaining the quality and sound of the original score. Barnum - reduced orchestrations

Theaters with some space and a bulkier budget may use a small pit band or medium-sized orchestra for their musicals. 

Although live music is exciting and rewarding, this approach is missing one vital ingredient– an orchestration to match the size of the orchestra. 

Whether you intend to have 5 musicians or 15, you’re stuck with an orchestration that is written for the number of musicians who premiered the musical. This number can be as high as 30 to 35 players. 

In most cases, the musical director will only use the books that he or she has the musicians for. This means that many instrument books sit idle.  It also means that the original sound of the show is greatly reduced by the loss of those unused instruments.
