Which Key Should I Use?

Hello!Potentially, stupid and emabrassing question. I am a musician who just started a musical and I'm gonna play harmonica in it. Never played one. Always wanted to and happy to be here. But to be honest, I don't even know if I bought the right key of harmoncia. The song, in the link below, is in G. So, I bought one in G. Did I buy the wrong one, and if so, which key would you recommend.
If you would like a recording i can attach that as well.
Thanks, Mitch

Hello Mitch, welcome to the site. You'll want to use a chromatic harmonica for this. I like the 12-Hole Hohner 270 Deluxe, in the key of C (it's like a piano... it can play in any key). Best of luck on the show.
