Into the Woods - performance tracks without piano?

My company is interested in purchasing performance tracks for an upcoming production of Into the Woods, but we would very much like the flexibility for me as the MD to play live piano along with the track as well as run the tracks from Qlab. This way I can still conduct the show from the piano for the cast, but also fire cues in Qlab as we go, and provide an element of 'live' music along with the tracks, perhaps even dropping out the tracks and just doing solo piano at moments. Is there a possibility of purchasing the performance tracks without the piano part included in them?

For Mean Girls High School Version, Is there a version of the rehearsal track that includes all the vocals? The original cast recording is not the same as the music.

Can rehearsal tracks be shared with cast?

Would like to share the rehearsal tracks with cast so they can practice in their own time during the rehearsal period. Is this possible?

Are performance tracks available or included for Seussical Kids?

I see an accompaniment CD with guide vocals is provided, is this to use for rehearsals only or can it be used for performances? Or are separate performance tracks available for Seussical Kids?

Next to Normal

For our first time using pre-recorded tracks we are attempting to do a very complex show, next to normal!

as you know next to normal is almost all music and has a ton of underscoring. Is it possible to view the queue sheet prior to renting to see if it’s something that we could accomplish?

Performance Tracks vs. Rehearsal Tracks

I understand that if I purchase Performance Accompaniment tracks, they will only be available for the performances. Are rehearsal tracks included in the purchase price? And do I have immediate access to them?
