Generally, the formation of orchestras in each of four periods can be summarized :Baroque orchestras had from 10 to 30 players, primarily strings.Classical orchestras used 30 to 60 players in four sections: strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion.Romantic orchestras had as many as 100 players or more, and featured greater use of brass and piano.Modern orchestras are a bit smaller than in the Romantic Era (symphony and other very large orchestras still exist). Some may focus on the unique (or even bizarre) sounds of individual instruments.
There are no characteristics of jazz instrumentation. Jazz can be played on virtually every instrument.

I was in the Drowsy Chaperone last year, and girls could be the gangsters. However, they would have to dress as men due to the time period. In the 1920's, women certainly were not gangsters. Hope this helps and good luck with your show! :)
