Hey guys, I'm trying to locate a rare script of an old production. Does anyone have suggestions of somewhere I might be able to look to try and locate this. So far online sources have been failing me.
If I find this script I'm pretty sure my Professor and Technical Director would love me forever.

Posted: 8/8/08 at 10:57pm...what script are you looking for?
"You have two kinds of shows on Broadway – revivals and the same kind of musicals over and over again, all spectacles. You get your tickets for The Lion King a year in advance, and essentially a family... pass on to their children the idea that that's what the theater is – a spectacular musical you see once a year, a stage version of a movie. It has nothing to do with theater at all. It has to do with seeing what is familiar.... I don't think the theatre will die per se, but it's never going to be what it was.... It's a tourist attraction." Stephen Sondheim

Posted: 8/9/08 at 3:46pmI hate to tell you this, but fires and scripts don't get along very well... good luck. The only place I can tell you to look is Drama Bookstore or go to a publisher (Samuel French)... The Public Library for Performing Arts is amazing, that might help you. It's in the Lincoln Center... good luck!
It's not impossible...
