I just finished conducting "The Sound of Music" last night. While it has a tuba part, it is not particularly noteworthy (in the movie, the tuba has a solo in "The Lonely Goatherd", but alas, not in the original show!) :-(

On the other hand, I have been called upon occasionally, to play string bass parts on the tuba for pit stuff. One show that was a alot of fun to play, was "Anything Goes". The tune, "Blow, Gabriel" swings like crazy! It was really a blast to play it on the tuba!

See if you can't try covering the bass book on the next show.
