Hi all. I have no access to an orchestra and I am a newer Drama teacher. What are my options for putting on West Side Story with no orchestra? Can I purchase the full orchestration with no lyrics? Will a piano accompanist work?THANKS

Megan,
I think we can help. Music Theatre International has a number of helpful resources - in particular is OrchExtra: a music enhancement system designed to electronically accompany a few live musicians. It's available for West Side Story:

I'll also share your question with our licensing dept. to see if they have additional suggestions.
Best,
