I think I understand you to be asking how to work on your Clarinet skills, am I right? I'll just run with that...

If you're looking for style interpretations the Wicked soundtrack has a fantastic pit orchestra Clarinetist who plays with an excellent "Broadway" sound. If you do your best to mimic that, you should be okay even if you only get it a little bit.

If it's a fingering issue, I'd say that you should find an etude or piece that you know cold on your saxophone and play it on the Clarinet. It will be weird hearing it in Bb instead of Eb pitch center, but since you already know the rhythms and notational markings it will help you "smooth out" your Clarinet.

Granted, these are just quick fixes... if you've got time I recommend the Klosé Method as this should help with a more Clarinet centric pedagogy.

Break a leg!

I was pointed at these Etymotic https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0044DEESS plugs, then I left the band with the trumpet section that couldn't play below forte and were right behind me. There were times when not only could I not hear my bass clarinet, I couldn't feel it play, either, aside from the vibration in the mouthpiece.

The last straw was a combination of the timpani player who couldn't tune his instrument and the trumpet blast in my ears inducing a migraine.
