Beauty and the Beast

There are several orchestrations for the Broadway show Beauty and the Beast. The original production had a bass trombone and tuba chair that I have played multiple times. There's at least one more orchestration, a reduction, that was/is used. Has anyone ever played any of the reduced orchestrations? What were the specific instruments that the trombone chair used? Thanks.

I have vague memories of playing keys for a reduced show, and looked it up to confirm... no trombone chair.

Thanks. Yes I knew about this version but I know there's another reduction that did use trombone that was not the original orchestration. Appreciate the info.

Does anyone happen to have a PDF of the original bass trombone/tuba part?
