I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to post this but..

I'm wondering if you guys know of where/if I can get a copy of the Cabaret 1998 Revival libretto? My school wants to do the show and my director asked me to see if the revival with "I Don't Care Much" and "Money" is available. I know there are a few shops in manhattan with scripts and things so I could probably stop by there this weekend if you think it's available. (Or maybe online?)

Is the only version of the show with the rights released the original production?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all so much in advance!

This is a great book:

You obviously can't actually do the show off of this libretto, but if your director just wants to look at the show, I recommend it. If you're asking about availability of rights, I don't know the answer. But that's where you can get a copy of the '98 version.

Thank you so much for your help!
I will definitely go out tonight and see if the B&N near me is carrying it! :)

The current version being released for production does include Money. I don't think it includes I Don't Care Much, but I could be wrong about that.

The rights to the 1998 revival version belong to the Roundabout. So far the only theater they've granted the rights to is Portland Center Stage in Oregon which produced the show last fall.
