The New American Musical: An Anthology from the End of the Century contains the script and is worth the read.

Sondheimite: who the flipping flip is the guy in the picture with her?? The guy in the picture is the playwright of Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune, Terrence McNally. (I think that’s an old photo.)

In fairness to the librarian who gave the "tongue lashing," the archive has a strict policy on access and they are open about it on their website: The Archive is available to theatre professionals, students, or researchers with work or study-related reasons for viewing. (http://www.nypl.org/locations/lpa/theatre-film-and-tape-archive) They even provide further specific information the original poster might find helpful, on "Using the Archive": http://www.nypl.org/locations/tid/55/node/92121 T...

I saw a production of "The King and I" in Chicago that seemed to have all the King's children in the cast but was small scaled in production values and featured a two piano reduction of the score, which is now licensed by R&H Theatricals.

Try a reference librarian at a public library or academic library. They're nice, eager to assist, and very helpful. Most libraries have instant chat or IM capabilities on their websites that allow you to work with a reference librarian remotely without having to step foot in a library...although you should try that too. Don't trust the internet and visit a library!

dramamama611: "Since you won't be seeing the production (I'm guessing because it doesn't interest you) then why would you care about the suprise?" I won't be seeing it because I have no plans on visiting the east and because I'm neither interested in this show nor a fan of Schwartz. I am a fan of Andrea Martin and am interested in knowing how she impresses in the part. I'd still like to know the surprise, so if you don't care to post it and would prefer to PM me, that'd be nice.

SPOILER REQUEST FindingNamo: "The rave in the Boston Globe is *loaded* with spoilers..." Except it doesn't give away Andrea Martin's surprise in "No Time at All". I won't see this production, so what is the surprise?

Marlene Dietrich, John Huston, Tallulah Bankhead

Wow, one of the "greatest things"! Regarding the Broadway production, the cast was full of "names"; how were the performances? With that kind of cast, is it more of an ensemble show? Also, does anyone know if there were any changes between the Off-Broadway and Broadway productions or was it moved to Broadway as-is? I'm most curious about the score. Not the sound of it, but what is the whole of the score like in terms of how it is integrated into the book? I remember seeing the production numb...

The Court Theatre in Chicago will be mounting a production in the winter. Anyone here see the Broadway production? I'd love to hear more about what it was like. What are the general opinions about the material itself?

I read the play prior to seeing a production in 2011 at Redtwist Theatre in Chicago. I really liked the script (although I was a Letts fan prior to reading it) and the leads were good while the supporting actors were great. Their raw and visceral moments were benefited by a very small theater that made it sort of an atmospheric production. Redtwist Theatre has a small storefront theater and the audience entered the performance space as though you were entering the motel and one would find you...

Jordan Catalano: The 7 hour Sondheim interview with the Library of Congress guy DVD's... What is this? Is the "Library of Congress guy" Mark Eden Horowitz? Thanks.

Which brings me to another "Candide" book question which is not an attempt to high jack the thread. Was Wheeler's book ever published and is it accessible? It won the '74 Tony for Best Book but I can't get my hands on a copy.
