The music for the show has evolved quite a bit and is in many forms. Some of it is in rough sketch form with lead sheets while other songs have been orchestrated to varying degrees. In addition, we were very pleased to have some of the vocals performed by the talented vocalists listed below. The others consist of David Lenchus performing to give a flavor of the songs.
