This terminology is commonly found in scores from musicals.
The winds of the orchestra are divided into sections called "reeds" instead of by instrument, as in a normal orchestra. Reed 1 denotes one set of winds, reed 2 denotes another set, so on and so forth.
Information on what each reed section contains can be found in the score or on the information page of the musical if it is published and managed by MTI.

What is a single reed in an orchestra?
A single reed instrument is a woodwind instrument that makes its noise by the vibration of a single reed (thin wedge of reed/cane). In the orchestra this means the clarinet family. The usual one is the B-flat clarinet but you'll often find a bass clarinet and sometimes clarinets in A and/or Eb. The saxophone (invented in the mid 18th century) is also a single reed instrument but isn't as much used in orchestral music. Other reed instruments of the orchestra are double-reeds: oboe, cor anglais, bassoons. By the way, to make your own single reed instrument, cut a thin strip of paper 1cm x 10cm and hold it between your thumbs vertically. There will be a small gap between your thumb knuckles. Put you lips against the thumbs and blow. The paper "reed" should make a squawk. If it doesn't play around with the stretch on the paper. Good luck!
