Thanks for the tip, Wilmer... makes me miss NYC. What kind of acting role does the trumpeter in this show play?

Sorry, Manny for being unclear. The 1979 show had a 30 piece orchestra in the pit. This version has no musicians, just 9 on-stage ACTORS playing and singing! We had 2 trumpets, 3 trombones and a french horn in the 1979 show. Jonathan Tunick's wonderful orchestrations will be lost.
Are they doing this for artistic reasons or just to make money
